In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros.

Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride.

But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected.

Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root?

A Royal Obligation

Outside the chamber, Queen Morgana leaned against the wall, her face still damp with tears. She pressed a hand to her chest, as though trying to steady the storm of emotions within her. The ache she felt for her son was unbearable, a wound that refused to heal.

"I failed him," she whispered to herself, her voice heavy with anguish.

Her tears had slowed, leaving her with the kind of hollow exhaustion that came from crying too much. She wiped her face with trembling hands, trying to compose herself. A deep, shuddering breath filled her lungs, and she forced herself to stand straight.

"This won't do," she murmured, her voice gaining strength. "He needs me to be strong."

She sniffed, brushing away the last traces of her breakdown. Her mind began to race with possibilities. How could she reach him? How could she mend the wounds that ran so deep?
