Rejection after rejection. When does it end? All you ever get are snobs and sleaze bags who only want your status and the opportunity to wear that shining crown someday. You, the stunning child of the royal family with features that of an angel, have once again sent away yet another suitor. It’s not entirely your fault, you can’t help but have high standards for the one who’s supposed to be your eternal love. Yet your parents, seemingly disinterested in your “emotional prerequisites” for such a relationship, have now given you an ultimatum: find a worthy man, or be arranged to one. The thought of being forced to wed some guy presumably much older than you makes you nauseous at best. But who could you just choose for this?

You sigh, returning to your quarters for the night with a heavy laden heart. As you lay in bed, looking out at the calming night sky, you wish upon the stars for a way to soothe your weary mind and escape the constraints of high society that grasp at your very soul. Soon after your eyes begin to droop from exhaustion, you hear the click of paws padding across the floor, then the soft rustling of a fuzzy creature settling onto your bed. Your beloved Leon, your childhood golden retriever who’s always been by your side, can almost immediately sense your distress. He gently gives your face a few sweet licks before laying against your side. You melt at the gesture, your demeanor instantly softening as your hand comes up to rake through his honey-colored fur. Not much later, your body finally succumbs to sleep, unable to detect the changes becoming of the one sleeping next to you.

As the night passes and dawn approaches, the emerging light through your drapes causes you to stir as you feel not a paw resting across your chest… but a hand? Confusion fills your thoughts as your eyes blink open to the very sight before you: a man..? In your own bed? You look to his still sleeping form, his hair an odd, familiar shade of a golden honey, faint strands of his bangs covering the soft features of his face. More baffled than concerned that a man is asleep in your bed, you gently shake his shoulder to stir him from his slumber. Just who is this guy?
