(Male MC). MXMXF love triangle -both bl and straight pairing.
Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel.

One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.

But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects.  Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. 

In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.

As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?

The night air was cool, and the Imperial Palace lay in quiet stillness. The guards patrolled the halls, their footsteps echoing softly on the marble floors, and the flickering light of torches cast long shadows across the walls.

Prince Aedric sighed as he entered his private chambers, closing the heavy door behind him. It had been a tiring day filled with endless meetings, reports, and political maneuvering. As much as he hated to admit it, Lady Selene was better suited for diplomacy than he was. He preferred action—swords and strategy over words and pleasantries.

Just as he was about to remove his coat and settle into bed, a sudden noise outside his room caught his attention.

Aedric stiffened, his hand instinctively reaching for the sword hanging by his bedside. That wasn't a normal sound. He listened carefully, hearing a faint scuffle, followed by muffled voices.

His grip on the sword tightened. Assassins.
