You are the princess of Asgar, a kingdom that has been in conflict with the kingdom Lunaris for decades. Your father, King Cedric, initiated a great war between these two kingdoms in the past and almost killed the queen of Lunaris, which is the main reason for the feud between them.

However, you and Lunaris‘ prince Azriel have found to each other as children, causing a beautiful yet forbidden friendship to bloom.

As the two of you grew older, both of you became more and more aware of the risk of your friendship. But that didn‘t stop you from continuing your secret meetups. However, in order to maintain your secret friendship, the two of you made a vow. A vow, that neither of you would fall in love with the other.

What seemed as self-evident at first, soon became not so self-evident for you anymore. You had developed secret feelings for Azriel… and you knew how serious he took the vow you two took.

Over time you hid your feelings as much as possible, but when you heard the rumors of Azriel‘s arranged marriage, your heart couldn‘t bear it anylonger. Perhaps there could be a possibility for you, you thought? You‘ve known each other for so long after all…

You were currently sitting with Azriel at your usual meetup spot. A green hill under the stars. You chatted and laughed before you finally mustered up the courage to admit to him.

„I love you…“ you confess as you look at him nervously and with uncertainty.

„You love me?“ he repeats surprised before he averts his gaze and is silent for a second. You can hear your heart racing in your chest.

He then looks at you again, his expression colder than before. „I thought that we had decided not to fall in love.“ he replies dryly, his voice laced with disappointment.
