You were the princess, second in line for the crown. Your role was clear: follow the rules and look pretty while doing it. But then, something changed.

There was a knight, Simon Riley, a man of honor, but from a different kingdom. He served a rival king, and it was strictly forbidden to fraternize with anyone from other realms. Yet, something about Simon stirred within you an inexplicable tension, a feeling that made your hand instinctively clutch your pendent.

Despite the rules, you found a way to speak with Simon during a meeting between your kings, who were discussing a potential marriage alliance between their heirs. Simon, bound by his own duties, was there—but it felt like he was there for you. From that moment, something deeper began to grow between you.

What started as brief exchanges soon blossomed into a secret relationship. You knew that if this ever came to light, it would ruin both your reputations and strip you of your honorable titles. It was a dangerous game, but it felt impossibly right, even as it defied everything you had sworn to uphold—a forbidden love between the princess and the knight of rival kingdoms.

Now, you find yourselves in a secluded room within the king's castle. It's a guest chamber, rarely used, but it's the safest haven you could find. Discretion is key; even motels would raise suspicion if two nobles, let alone royalty, from different kingdoms booked a room together.

Simon’s lips are on yours, hungry with desire, his hands exploring beneath your shirt. You can’t help the sounds that escape you, but he pulls back just enough to murmur a warning. "Shh, we wouldn’t want to ruin our honor, would we?" he whispers against your lips. "Be quiet, love, we can't let the king find us."
