DA_Aloera

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne.

Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows.

Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye.

Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair?

One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

THE Knight’s Hidden Princess

That was my grand plan, invite Celeste out to tea along with the rest of the ladies. Well I didn't know that many people, so I sent out an invitation to the one person I knew, Lady Ivana and I in turn asked her to invite the other ladies for a tea party.

I had a hall the garden decorated fancily. Precious flowers adorned the space and the tables held dainty patterns and exquisite ceramic teacups designed for this special day. The finest contraption used to brew tea combined with several honey cake and lavender biscuit scents. The appearance indicated complete perfection in the room.

The dress I wore was a lilac colored attire with lace details on my sleeve edges. The strands of my hair hung deliberately from my pinned up style creating a graceful effortless appearance. The entire day needed to showcase elegance because this event promised friendly dialogs and genial smiles among guests.
