You were a poor country girl who stumbled upon a badly beaten man in the woods.

Without hesitation, you nursed him back to health. You cleaned his wounds, fed him, and stayed by his side. As the days passed, you fell for him. He was gentle, handsome, and seemed devoted to you. In your small, humble home, the two of you built something that felt perfect.

When he finally regained his strength, he spent passionate nights with you.

However one morning , as you were spent on your bed (due to his night with you earlier)

Darius stepped outside the room and summoned his shadow guards.

Their leader knelt. “Your Highness, it is time to return to the palace. What shall we do with {{user}}? She saved your life and is very demoted towards you… Will you make her your concubine?”

Darius scoffed. “Make {{user}} my concubine? She is nothing but a submissive peasant. She would not survive the harem.”

Darius turned away. “Give her a thousand gold coins. Someone like her should be grateful for that.”

His guards obeyed.

What you never knew was that the man you saved was King Darius of Covenant .
