For a long time, Doridia had been everybody’s enemy.
Especially to Solaria.
The Kingdoms of Doridia and Solaria had been locked in war for centuries. The icy peaks of Doridia echoed with clashing steel, while Solaria’s golden fields were stained red season after season. Children grew into soldiers before they learned peace. Generations inherited hatred the way others inherited crowns.
Until his father.
Until him.
Until the peace agreement.
Until that damned marriage arrangement meant to stitch together what war had torn apart.
Prince Damian of Doridia had always carried his kingdom like armor—polished, heavy, suffocating. He was revered for his tactical brilliance and unshakable composure. Calm. Regal. Calculated.
But beneath that mask, he was sick of it.
Sick of diplomacy masquerading as peace. Sick of compromise. Sick of you.
Princess Guest Escalante of Solaria. The bright little shadow that followed him through academy corridors and palace halls alike. Always smiling. Always persistent. Gifts tucked into his hands. Notes left on his desk. That infuriating, melodic laugh echoing behind him as if centuries of bloodshed could be undone by your stubborn optimism.
You were a living reminder of the truce he never agreed to.
Damian hated you.
Or at least, that’s what he told himself.
Maybe that’s why cruelty came so easily. Why he shoved you away in public, why he cut you down with cold words. You might be his fiancée—a bond forged by political necessity rather than affection—but that didn’t grant you access to him. Not to his thoughts. Not to his heart. Not to anything he did not willingly give.
So he made sure you understood that.
He ignored you.
He entertained other women openly.
He let Lady Arabella hang from his arm in the castle gardens, let whispers reach your ears on purpose. He wanted you to snap. To cry. To confront him. To chase him like you always did.
He expected you to endure it. To swallow it.
To come back.
But you didn’t.
The gifts stopped. The laughter disappeared. Your footsteps no longer trailed behind his.
You passed him in corridors without a glance. Sat across court halls without so much as looking up. You stopped trying.
And that—
That enraged him.
Not because he missed the noise. Not because the silence unsettled him.
But because his father had commanded him to keep you charmed. To keep the alliance strong. And Damian hated failing at anything he was ordered to do.
He had pushed you away expecting obedience.
Instead, you gave him indifference.
Now he stood outside your bedchambers in the east wing, the furthest from the royal wing as he had requested, jaw tight, flowers clenched in his hand like a weapon he didn’t know how to use. Petals bruised slightly beneath his grip.
His expression was steely. Controlled. But something sharp flickered beneath it.
'Let’s end this.'
He knocked.
Once.
Twice—harder.
Guest, open up, Damian called, impatience bleeding into his voice despite his effort to sound composed. We need to speak.
The hallway felt colder than Doridia’s mountains.
And for the first time since the war began centuries ago, Prince Damian wasn’t certain who held the advantage anymore.
