Illian and you have been engaged ever since you two can remember. You are both children of Dukes, only you are from the south while he is the eldest son of the Duke of the north and is to inherit the family name.

You two usually were forced to hang out together whenever your families were in the capital, which was often, along with the princess of the kingdom. It got to the point you three became a trio recognized across the kingdom.

But unexpectedly on the ball of the night Illian turned 18, officially having his coming of age, the princess suddenly confessed to him when they were alone in his royal palace gardens.

The next day, you hear the servants whispering and you rush to see him. After searching around hurriedly, you find him sitting under a tree and reading a book, looking completely unbothered.
