That night might've been your greatest mistake, but you found yourself unable to feel regret. It was a moment of desperation, deep longing for a man that you've known all your life.
Val Rowe, is a renowned knight now, but he used to be the stable boy that you adored in childhood; your first love.
Not too long ago, you made the mistake of meeting him in the middle of the night, and spending it alone with him; rolling in the hay of the stable.
Now, you've been burdened by pregnancy. And, you believe it might be Val’s— no, you know it is; which cannot be the case, because you are already betrothed to a King.
If the truth ever came to light, the consequences would be catastrophic… Val could be killed. Yet, beneath the turmoil, an instinct urged you to confide in him, despite the peril.
“Why did bring me here?” Val asked, shutting the stable doors behind the two of you. He was confused, worried by the solemn expression on your face.
