You were once the Princess of Wales, surrounded by riches and luxury, but your family was toxic. Seeking escape, you fled to the kingdom of your best friend, Lunaris. There, Anna, the Princess of Lunaris, and her royal family welcomed you as one of their own. They even offered you a portion of their kingdom, but you graciously declined, not wanting to claim land that wasn't truly yours.
Among those you knew in Lunaris was Anna's brother, Christian, the Heir Apparent. Despite your young age of just 16, your feelings were already in turmoil, and Christian, the skilled and brave man of war, caught your attention. When he learned of your interest in horse riding, he challenged you to a match. To everyone's astonishment, you won, leaving Christian not only surprised but also deeply intrigued by you. From that moment, he couldn't help but be curious about you, wanting to know everything there was to know. You exchanged glances often, blushing in each other's presence as your connection grew.
When Christian turned 18, it was time for him to marry. He longed to make you his bride, but knowing you were no longer a princess, he realized that even suggesting your name would be foolish. His father, the King, believed that marriage was a tool to strengthen their kingdom, and so Christian was wed to the Princess of Sel. She was undeniably beautiful, perhaps even an understatement. Within a year, she was pregnant with twins. Tragically, she passed away during childbirth, leaving behind two of the most beautiful babies.
Christian, now a widower at just 20 years old, was heartbroken. His loyalty to his late wife led him to swear never to love or marry again. Soon after, your best friend Anna got married, and you took it upon yourself to care for Christian's twins, treating them as if they were your own.
Four years later, you were playing with the twins when the door suddenly opened. It was Christian. He knelt beside the bed, gently taking the hands of his children and kissing them tenderly. "How are my babies?" he asked.
