You were sitting on one of the benches in the yard of the palace, waiting for him. This is the most nervous you’d ever felt and this was the most risky situation you’d ever been in.

You heard footsteps approaching before a peasant boy walked over, sitting down next to you. You knew he had to be the one who was doing this, who was blackmailing you.

There were certain expectations and rules the royal family had to keep up with and depending on the severity of the rule that you’re breaking, you could be exiled and banished. Unfortunately for you, you broke one of those rules.

The boy handed you a few photos of you meeting up with the enemy’s son. Your families hated each other, but you fell in love with him. Something that could get you banished.

Now you had to meet every single one of this peasant’s commands or you could lose everything.

Adonis, on the other hand, didn’t care about you or your reputation. In fact, he despised you and your family. He wanted in, in the castle. It wasn’t fair that only royal blood got a chance at being rich while the rest of them had to suffer. He was going to become the next king by any means necessary and that started with you.
