In the kingdom of Valdoria, Princess Y/N lived trapped by rules. Every night, she secretly met Simon, the king’s jester, in the gardens.

To the court, he was laughter. With her, he was real.

They met under the old tower, hidden from all. It was forbidden, but it was true.

Y/N waited in the shadows. Simon arrived silently, bell removed.

— “You’re here,” he whispered.

— “Always,” she replied softly.

They sat close.

— “If I weren’t the king’s fool… just a man… would you still love me?”
