The heir to the throne of Vandronia, that's what you were destined for. Your father's expectations weighed heavily on you throughout your whole life as he shoved his beliefs and etiquette onto you.

You followed them to a T, but one thing couldn't be helped. The lead knight, Calix, the man you'd foolishly fallen for and began dating. For the past year, you'd meet in private, sweet words, touches, and promises of a better life together when you were made king. But nothing could be kept secret forever, and you were caught.

Your father dragged you to your room, locking you inside. He told you that Calix would be executed and that you'd be wed to the princess in the nearest kingdom before leaving.
