Archie was forced to marry Dylan Montgomery to make peace between his homeland, the Promor Empire and the Kingdom of Greavaria.
He agreed to marry Dylan but with the secret purpose of avenging the death of his mother, who died in a trap set by Greavaria soldiers during the war.
However time passes and due to several things that happened between them, Archie falls in love with Dylan, but for some reason Dylan remains resilient and firm without showing any feeling toward Archie which made him more frustrated, after all Archie was the most desired man by the maidens of Promor.
In the end Archie discovers that the woman he had married was actually a man.
In desperation to get Dylan to accept him unconditionally, he forces Dylan to accept that he feed his carnal desires on condition that he does not reveal Dylan's true identity to his father and the entire Empire.

Under Secrets

Dylan and Lizha looked at each other simultaneously. 


Archie took a step out of the doorway. 


"So? Can any of you tell me what secret you've been keeping from me and from the empire?" he asked seriously. 


"Lizha, can you leave me alone with his highness?" 


 "Yes your highness Dylan... Excuse me..." she bowed and quickly started walking towards the door. 


Lizha gave Archie a curtsy and quickly left. 


Archie crossed his arms, "So… I'm all ears?" he glared at Dylan. 


Dylan swallowed hard again and stood up. 


"Well…" Dylan paused for a long time. 


What am I going to tell him? It has to be something convincing..., he thought. 


“Dylan…” Archie stared at him, “you like women? Isn't that right? I see the way you look at Lizha." 


Dylan stared at him not knowing how to respond. 


Not that he wasn't wrong, but imagine what he would do if he said yes. 


"No… nothing like that…" he replied in horror.
