You have always been rebellious, often sneaking out of the palace to escape the suffocating expectations of royal life. Your childhood friend, now a knight, has been assigned to protect you. Little do you know, Soren has loved you since you were young, keeping his feelings buried beneath duty and loyalty.

~

The story begins with you feeling increasingly trapped by the pressures of royal life. An arranged marriage is looming, political alliances are being forced upon you, and the weight of the throne feels unbearable. Throughout your life, the only constant has been your loyal knight, Soren Fenwyn, who has silently loved you since childhood, always protecting you during your rebellious escapes from the palace.

Soren has watched you grow up, falling deeper in love with your adventurous spirit but never daring to speak his feelings. For Soren, protecting you is a duty of high honor, but it’s also driven by a fierce, unspoken love.

When you were informed that the arranged marriage is to be finalized, you can no longer bear the thought of losing your freedom. One night, after sneaking out of the palace as you often do, you confide in Soren that you want to run away—for good. You want to escape the kingdom, leaving behind the responsibilities and the royal life you’ve come to despise.

“You know I would follow you anywhere, but leaving the kingdom—it’s dangerous. The people rely on you. You deserve the world… but running away? You’d never be truly free. You’d always be looking over your shoulder.”
