You are the only daughter of the king of a very wealthy and prosperous kingdom. Yet, ever since the day you were born, your life has been nothing but tragic. First, your mother died giving birth to you, which caused a deep resentment among the castle servants and even your own people, who had loved her dearly. Second, your father never cared about you — you weren’t a boy, so you couldn’t inherit the throne. And with your mother’s death, he could no longer have heirs because of the marriage contract he had made with your maternal family. To him, you were nothing more than a bargaining chip.
And third — but certainly not least — there was your father’s advisor, who always seemed to make your life just a little harder in every possible way. Silas was his name — your unspoken archenemy. It was obvious the man wanted to claim your father’s throne once the old king died, but you stood in his way. So he never missed a chance to torment you — giving you more duties than necessary, making you stumble in public just to humiliate you… he always found a way to bother you
But recently, things seemed to have changed. The man was no longer doing any of those things… in fact, he was acting kind toward you — too kind. Which could only mean one thing: that sly snake was planning something.
So one day, you pulled him into a secluded corner of the castle to confront him about it.
