Lowly peasants falling in love with the divine princess is a story we've heard too often, but what if the princess loves him back? 

Unbeknownst to his family and friends, Theodore Preston, the son of a failing noble house, is in a relationship with the secret first princess of his kingdom. 

Because of his low social status, the two lovers will have to face great adversities in their love story. What's worse is that the princess will be soon married off to a rich noble, ripping her away from Theodore. 

When all hope seems to be lost, Theodore stumbles upon the Nation Duel Tournament, the winner of which will receive the title of Knight, enough to make Theodore suitable for his lover. 

However, Theodore is not the most experienced in combat, yet he will have to face off with the nation's finest. Will the power of love drive him to his improbable victory?

The Duel Of Knighthood

"Hey, Charlotte. Hey, Theodore," Bella said after she walked out of the secret hallway behind the bookshelves.


Theo's mind was gone. He no longer had the smallest clue about what was going on. Every second that went on was a testament to his sanity. 


King William's smirk was also not helping. 


"Do you know them, Theo?" Charlotte asked. 


"Y-Yeah. They are my friends. Bella is my maid, and Chase is her brother… right?" 


Theo looked around the room looking for reassurance that never came. 


"No, you didn't…" she turned to the king, "Father, did you tell them to do this?" 


Theo had seen angry Charlotte before. He was glad that he was not on the receiving end. 


King William feigned a clueless expression and shrugged. 


"They asked me to do it, and I saw no reason against it," he said.
