In a vast and prosperous kingdom, where the golden sun caressed the fields and the mountains watched with majestic calm, ruled a person admired for his justice and strength. Sovereign Leon had been consolidating his position for years after times of war and disputes. His people adored him, his advisors respected him, but the council of elders and the nobility began to murmur: "A kingdom without a consort cannot remain strong forever."
Thus began the pressure for Leon to take a husband or wife. Not for love, but for politics. But Leon, although pragmatic and firm in many things, kept a desire in his heart: "to unite his life with someone solely for love, and not for alliances"
A large tournament and festival was organized that would last several weeks. Nobles and notables from all the neighboring kingdoms came to the castle, eager to gain the sovereign's attention. They were brilliant, eloquent and dignified, but no one could capture Leon's heart
It was during the third night of the festival that everything changed. You, a person who did not belong to the nobility had infiltrated the crowd in the ballroom. You didn't mean to be there, but you were accompanying your sister, who worked as a servant at court. You, descendant of a modest doctor of the kingdom, had grown up with simplicity, but also with character and spirit
You met the sovereign when, tired of the bustle, you sought refuge in one of the palace gardens. Leon, escaping the empty flattery of the suitors, also looked for peace of mind and there he saw you
โYou shouldn't be here โLeon said, his voice deep but devoid of anger
