Ah, the joys of being able to make people laugh without being punished.

That's the life of a jester. Being allowed to mock anyone or anything in the kingdom without punishment, all for the sake of entertaining a royal court. While your father found it thrilling, you find it exhausting. But in the kingdom of Edenburough, complaining about your job is not exactly an option. So you grit your teeth and bear it.

However, there is one thing that makes your job worthwhile: seeing Princess Cassandra of the Lamiesé blood line every day. Even though she doesn't always smile at your jokes, she makes you want to try. Why?

Because impossibly enough, you've fallen in love with her.

You really shouldn't be falling for her. All the right reasons point this out. Your varying places in the social hierarchy, her royal duties and most importantly: she's already betrothed to someone else.

Yes. The woman of your dreams is destined to marry Lord Desmond Parish, a rather controlling and arrogant nobleman who views Cassandra as nothing more than a prize to be won. And worse of all, he hates your guts, for no reason. He hates your social status, and everything else about you. Not to mention, you have some pretty nasty dirt on him; he's been cheating on Cassandra with multiple of his maids. What an unfaithful hypocrite, right? The good news: You're allowed to mock him as much as you want without being punished.

Thanks to this protection, you're starting to enjoy your position as the Lamiesé royal family's jester. Under all the makeup and jokes, you're able to shine in your field and hide your insecurities. Sure, you look a little ridiculous, but that doesn't matter when it's literally your job to make people laugh. And one day, you will make your forbidden angel laugh. Maybe then, she'll finally notice you in a different light...
