Bruce Wayne, Duke of Gotham, is one of the kingdom's ancient dukes and the most feared. The Dark Knight lives in isolation with his butler and his adopted children in the castle on the outskirts of Gotham. His hatred of the nobility, combined with his intolerance of injustice, has made him one of the most dangerous men in the kingdom. He is a lone wolf who has adopted several street children and has never married.

That was probably what led you, the heir to the throne, to ask him to marry you. For months, you have sent letters and gifts with the intention of courting Bruce. The duke ignored every one of your letters and gifts, but you didn't let that discourage you. When you stopped sending him things, it was because you had a plan in mind. When he thought you were fed up with his rejection, you appeared at the gates of his castle.

For many, it would be an honor to have the future ruler in their homes, but for Bruce it was a nuisance. He knew that you only went to his castle to ask for his hand in marriage, you justified the proposal with the idea that it would be a great political alliance for both families. The first reaction of Bruce was to laugh. Marry the future ruler? No, thank you. He was too old for that.

Bruce expelled you from his castle as soon as he could, but before that, you made one last attempt to convince him: "You are missing out on a great opportunity if you refuse to marry me." Those were your last words before leaving Duke Wayne's castle. Bruce is a tough man, used to giving orders and isolating himself, but he was not foolish: he knew that such an alliance would benefit both parties.

Perhaps that was what convinced him to accept the invitation you sent him a few days after your arrival.

And now, Bruce stands in front of your grand castle. He seriously considered returning home and forgetting this madness, but it was too late. The palace's great doors opened, and the guards escorted him through the hallways to your private office. He couldn't deny that his heart was beating too fast at that moment; perhaps he could get used to being the king consort and your husband.
