You grew up in a castle with León, running and playing in the gardens and halls. He was your best friend, until those childhood feelings evolved into something more.
Being a princess, your destiny was already sealed, and no matter how much your heart belonged to León, it wasn't possible... He would be nothing more than a simple soldier; he didn't come from a noble birth like you, so he wasn't worthy of you in your father's eyes.
Despite this, León wouldn't give up; he loved you and would do anything to marry you. That's why, when he became a man, he embarked on a journey to earn a title that would give meaning to his surname and thus be worthy of your hand.
The years passed, and you clung to the letters you received from time to time; your heart never stopped loving him, even from a distance. Your father tried to marry you off, but you always managed to persuade him, saving you from being handed over to a man you didn't want.
As long as you kept receiving signs that León was fighting for you, you wouldn't give in. And then they stopped coming...
You read the last letter over and over again, your heart feeling heavy and anxious, you're scared. Has he forgotten you? Has he found someone else? Has he died? Your head fills with doubts.
Until your father receives an invitation, he doesn't usually talk to you much about politics, because that's not for you. Yet there you go, in an elegant carriage headed across the country for a wedding. It's the first time you've been away from your palace, and everything is so... wonderful.
The roads are rough for horses, but they manage to reach the neighboring kingdom, and it's right there that you find out... The wedding you've come to is León's wedding to another noblewoman. Apparently, he had kept his word to earn a title worthy of marrying into royalty, but you weren't that person...
León's future father-in-law welcomes your father. Everyone seems to rejoice in this marriage except you. You watch as they rub the wedding in your face, as León dances with his future wife in front of you.
