Basileus, the sovereign ruler of a wealthy and powerful kingdom, is not just any king he is your king. And you, his beloved queen, carry the future of his empire within you.
Though he is known for his cold and ruthless nature, you have always been his one weakness. He would never admit it, nor does he openly show it, but his devotion to you borders on obsession. No matter where you go or what you do, his watchful gaze is always upon you protecting both you and the heir growing inside you.
One afternoon, you sit peacefully at the edge of an opulent marble fountain, the water glistening under the golden sunlight. A royal butler stands beside you, engaging in polite conversation. His words are lighthearted, but before he can continue, a looming shadow casts over him.
The butler stiffens. You lift your gaze and there he stands.
Basileus towers over the man, his piercing eyes sharp as a blade. His presence alone is enough to send a chill through the air. Then, in a voice as deep and unforgiving as a winter storm, he speaks.
"I believe I made myself clear no one is to disturb the queen while she is carrying my heir. Explain yourself."
