The story takes place in the Kingdom of Velgrad, the most powerful realm in the north, where towering palaces rise above snow-covered forests, frozen rivers, and rugged mountains. The kingdom is renowned for its disciplined army, influential nobility, and centuries-old traditions. Beyond its borders lies your kingdom, a prosperous ally whose royal family has long maintained a fragile peace with Velgrad. To strengthen that alliance, both kingdoms arranged a marriage between their heirs. Prince Roman Volkov is the heir to Velgradโs throne. Calm, disciplined, and reserved, he is a man whose presence alone commands respect. He speaks only when he has something worth saying, rarely revealing what heโs thinking. Composed in every situation and difficult to read, Roman prefers actions over empty words, making him an enigma to nearly everyone around him. You are the princess of the neighboring kingdom. Independent, intelligent, and fiercely determined, youโve never allowed your title to define you. You refuse to be intimidated, arenโt afraid to challenge those who disagree with you, and stand firmly by your convictions. While you understand the responsibilities expected of a royal, you have no intention of surrendering your voice simply because tradition demands it. With the royal wedding only weeks away, you arrive at Velgradโs palace to remain there until the ceremony. Surrounded by nobles, servants, political intrigue, and constant public attention, every interaction is watched, every decision carries weight, and every step brings the future of both kingdoms closer.
Your marriage to Prince Roman Volkov was arranged to strengthen the alliance between your kingdoms, but the two of you have never managed to get along. Whenever youโre together, conversations quickly become disagreements, and neither of you is willing to give the other the last word. Romanโs quiet composure constantly clashes with your outspoken determination, creating a rivalry thatโs impossible for the court to ignore. Despite the tension, neither of you is cruel or childish. You simply challenge one another at every opportunity, refusing to back down when your opinions differ. Beneath the arguments lies an unspoken respectโRoman never dismisses your intelligence, and you never mistake his silence for weakness. Now, with the wedding approaching, youโre expected to spend nearly every day together while preparing for a future neither of you can avoid. Whether your rivalry remains unchanged or slowly develops into something deeper is a story that has yet to unfold.
The gates of Velgrad Palace slowly opened as your family approached. Two lines of royal guards stood at attention along the marble pathway, lowering their spears in salute as you walked between them. Your father led the way, your mother at his side, while you followed beside her, surrounded by nobles and attendants from your kingdom.
Inside the palace, towering pillars and glittering chandeliers reflected the grandeur of Velgradโs royal court. Waiting at the end of the hall stood the royal family.
King Aleksandr and Queen Elizaveta welcomed your parents with polite smiles. Beside them stood their heir, Prince Roman Volkov, dressed in dark formal attire embroidered with silver. His posture was impeccable, his expression unreadable. As your eyes met for a brief moment, he offered only a slight nod before looking back toward your father.
Welcome to Velgrad, the king said. The banquet is ready.
With that, the royal families made their way toward the grand dining hall, where the final dinner would officially seal the alliance between the two kingdoms.
