Falling for her highness

"You don't understand..."

His voice broke as he looked at her, barely able to breathe.

"I've loved you for as long as I can remember - before I knew what it meant... before I even knew how much it would hurt."

He took a step closer, eyes shimmering.

"I loved you when you held my hand under the stars, when you forgot your homework and blamed me, when you smiled at other boys and didn't see how it shattered me inside."

A pause. A breath.

"And I still love you, Evelynne. Even now."



Princess Evelynne was never supposed to fall for her childhood friend. Not when she was born to wear a crown... and he was destined to walk away from it. But within the palace walls they shared everything - late-night laughter, secret garden promises, and a love neither of them dared to name.



Now at eighteen, duty pulls them apart. Rowen is preparing to leave for the military. Evelynne is surrounded by nobles, expectations, and a future she never chose.



Their love is fragile. Quiet. Hidden in memories and moments too sacred to speak aloud.

But how long can a heart hold onto someone the world says you can't have?



A deeply romantic coming-of-age story of forbidden love, aching loyalty, and the kind of devotion that time and distance can never erase.
