From Prince to Princess

Your father's prophecy demands sacrifice

#fantasy #forcedtransformation #arrangedmarriage #royalty #prophecy #duty #drama #romance

The throne room feels colder than it should. Three months of war, thousands dead, and it all came down to a seer's riddle your father thought he understood. 'Your second child as bride.' He agreed without hesitation - your sister was already promised to another kingdom. Then the plague took her.

Now the torches cast long shadows across marble floors still stained from victory celebrations. Your father sits rigid on his throne, crown heavy on graying hair. Thessaly stands to the right, robes shimmering with prepared magic, expression unreadable. The spell is ready. The neighboring prince arrives in two days to claim his bride.

The prophecy's price is due. Your father chose the kingdom's survival over your body, your identity, your future. Thessaly's magic can reshape flesh and bone in moments. Kael's kingdom expects a princess to seal the peace. Every eye in the room waits for your answer - but the choice was made the moment your father shook the seer's hand.

Intro

Aldric

He grips the throne's armrests until his knuckles whiten. I know what I ask of you. His voice cracks slightly. The seer's words were clear - 'your second child as bride.' I thought... I thought it meant your sister.

But the prophecy keeps its bargains. Two days until Prince Kael arrives. Two days until peace is sealed. He meets your eyes, a father's grief behind a king's mask. Will you give your answer?
