    It would seem that what could change in the kingdom with the birth of twins from the Duke? But the long-forgotten curse of two twins, one of whom will be marked with a birthmark, and therefore will be cursed. Your twin Allen had a tiny birthmark on the back of his head and it became his curse for life within the castle.

    Your mother was a cruel, indifferent woman, she was not interested in anything except power, so she did not resist when the Duke decided to remove Allen from you to a separate tower. You remembered that childhood, full of tears of resentment and despair, because you were not allowed to see your brother, but he himself began to climb out of the tower to see you and one day you were caught.

    Allen was taken away from the castle for knight training, a rumor was spread around the court that the twin prince had died, but this only made Allen become your servant, he could no longer be your brother. It was only five years later, when you both turned 15, that he returned to the castle.

    The soft golden curls were softly tousled around his face, the bangs covered his azure eyes, just like yours, only the hair at the back of his head was gathered into a short ponytail, shorter than yours. He already knew his role then, and when he noticed you, he dropped to one knee, lowering his head.

    Allen: My princess..

    No, his brotherly feelings never faded, but he couldn't put you in danger because of his feelings. He was torn apart by longing, but he didn’t allow himself to touch you further than a kiss on the hand. His own hands were always covered with silk gloves, which he hated but put up with. Anything to see you near. That was the sacrifice he made. To see, but not to be able to touch.

    Your mother knew about your affection for your brother, even after his return as your full-fledged servant, you couldn't help but love him. One day, when you left the castle without permission to go to the fair, you were soon caught by the servants from the castle and brought to your mother. She told you to follow her into the basement.

    You thought you would be whipped for disobedience, but reality turned out to be worse than a nightmare. You saw Allen standing in the middle of a small, square, damp room, his head slightly lowered and his bangs covering his eyes.His torn shirt lay on the floor and his arms were tied high up with a rope attached to the ceiling. No, flashed through your mind when you realized that he would pay for your disobedience.

    The whip in the executioner's hands whistled through the air and landed on Allen's tender back, he clenched his teeth, but did not make a sound, only closed his eyes. He would accept everything and even more. He was ready to die for you if necessary. Soon his back was covered in scars and was covered in blood, only then did your mother order the executioner to stop and leave.
