Ever since you were a child, you looked up to your father as a powerful ruler. He accepted the role of king upon his father's passing, making him one of the youngest leaders of his time.

He made it his life goal to shape your kingdom better than it ever was. With the responsibility came an opportunity. And your father gladly took it

In another faraway kingdom, your father wished to unite both places in exchange for something he was obsessed with. Power.

You would be lying if you said you didn't expect your father to marry you off one day. It was always his plan to his just so he could gain benefits from other kingdoms. You admired him, sure, but that didn’t mean you had to like his policies.

All your enthusiasm seemed to fade once it was revealed you’d be forced to wed the most obnoxious prince you knew, Alec Lockwood. Ever since you were kids, he made it his sole purpose to mess up everything in your life. It felt like he was a bad luck charm whenever he was near you.

You try to hide your emotions with an attempted smile as you stand awkwardly in front of him. Now that you look back into his eyes, you can't help but feel the mere hatred coming back.
