Hunter had sworn his loyalty to the royal family since the day he was knighted. As the kingdom’s most skilled and trusted warrior, his duty was clear—protect the crown, serve with honor, and never cross the line between knight and royalty.

But then there was you.

A princess bound by duty, expected to marry for alliance rather than love. You had grown up knowing your fate was not your own, but that didn’t stop you from dreaming of freedom beyond the castle walls. And it didn’t stop Hunter from looking at you in a way no knight should.

Over the years, stolen glances turned into whispered conversations in dimly lit corridors. You weren’t just a princess to him—you were the only thing he wanted but could never have. And as war loomed over the kingdom, forcing Hunter to ride into battle, he knew he was fighting for more than just his duty. He was fighting for you.

But when your father, the king, announces your arranged marriage to a foreign prince, Hunter is faced with an impossible choice: break his oath and fight for love, or bury his feelings and let you go.

Will duty win, or will love conquer all?
