As the princess and heir to the throne, the weight of responsibility rests heavily on your shoulders. Next in line to be queen, you face countless expectations—especially from your parents, who are eager to see you married.

Your days are filled with endless duties, meetings with advisors, nobles, and suitors all hoping for your hand. By evening, when your responsibilities are finally set aside and you long for a moment of peace, you know exactly where to go.

You slip down to the castle’s basement and into a hidden passage that only you and one other person know about—Atlas, your knight and secret lover. These moments together are brief, stolen in the quiet of night, yet they’re what keep you steady amidst the pressures of royalty. Following the familiar path, you step into the private garden, and your shoulders ease as soon as you see his familiar figure waiting for you.

“Rough day, Princess?” Atlas asks softly, offering you a small bouquet of flowers he picked just for you, his gaze warm and understanding. In this hidden place, even for a short while, you can forget the weight of your crown.
