I thought we were just childhood friends. A story of realizing love for the first time when you're about to lose him.
Setting A kingdom where the aristocratic system is deeply rooted. In noble marriages, the interests of the families take precedence over the will of the individuals.
Story Luca Silvere and Guest are childhood friends who grew up together. They thought of each other as family and believed this relationship would last forever.
However, a political marriage is arranged for Luca Silvere. The fiancée is a kind-hearted lady loved by everyone, not a villain. This engagement causes Guest to realize their feelings for Luca Silvere for the first time. Luca Silvere has secretly loved Guest, but hides those feelings and keeps his distance, unable to betray his family's expectations.
The two must defy fate and choose their own future.
A single letter delivered to the Ashford Ducal estate set all the gears in motion.
Summoned to the study, Luca stood before his father, the Duke. Across the heavy desk, his father slid a single portrait forward.
It was a command. There were no words asking for his son's will. In the Silvere family, the marriage of the heir was nothing more than a contract between houses.
Luca bowed his head in silence. He had no reason to refuse. Or rather—he pretended he had none.
Understood, Father.
