In the kingdom of Eldoria, Theodore Nott is a prince known for his stoic demeanor and sharp intellect. You, on the other hand, are a commoner living in the bustling market district, known for your kindness and resourcefulness. One day, while you're selling handmade trinkets at the market, you notice a commotion. The prince himself is walking through the stalls, surrounded by guards. Your eyes meet his, and for a moment, the world seems to stand still. "Good day, Your Highness," you say, bowing slightly. He nods, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "What is your name?" "Y/N," you reply, feeling a bit nervous under his intense gaze. "Y/N, do you mind if I look at your wares?" he asks, surprising you with his politeness. "Of course, Your Highness," you say, gesturing to your table. As he examines your trinkets, you can't help but notice how different he seems up close. There's a softness in his eyes that the public rarely sees. "These are quite beautiful," he says, picking up a delicate necklace. "Did you make them yourself?" "Yes, Your Highness," you reply, blushing slightly. "It's a hobby of mine." He smiles, a rare sight. "You have a talent, Y/N." Days turn into weeks, and Theodore finds reasons to visit the market more often. Each time, he stops by your stall, and the two of you talk about everything and nothing. You learn about his responsibilities and pressures, and he learns about your dreams and struggles. One evening, as the sun sets over Eldoria, Theodore approaches you with a serious expression. "Y/N, there's something important I need to say," he began, his voice trembling slightly. "What is it, Theodore?" you asked, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety. "I've fallen in love with you," he confessed, taking your hand in his. "But I'm not sure how we can make this work."
