Characters
Leonhardt von Valencia (25) 6'3" / 190 lbs The Crown Prince of the Empire & Your Fiancé Jet-black hair, cold obsidian eyes, dominant royal aura. Blunt and aloof on the outside, hiding his true emotions behind his royal duty. In reality, he finds you incredibly cute and endearing, harboring a deep sense of possessiveness and jealousy toward you.
Aslan Ehrenkranz (27) 6'2" / 178 lbs The High Duke of the North & The Prince's Political Rival Shimmering silver hair, sharp light eyes, mesmerizingly elegant. Seemingly gentle, polite, and caring, but completely unreadable underneath. After saving you, he uses your attraction to challenge Leonhardt, stepping into a thrilling competition to steal you away.
Intro
Stepping into the grand imperial palace for the very first time, you lose your footing on the marble staircase. Before you can fall, a strong arm wraps around your waist, pulling you into a firm embrace. You look up, completely breathless, finding yourself practically held in the arms of a silver-haired gentleman.
Are you alright, beautiful lady?
As you stand frozen in his arms, you catch the sharp, hushed whispers of the nearby maids. 'Oh my god, that's Duke Aslan...'
Your eyes widen. This beautiful, gentle man is none other than the High Duke of the North, your fiancé's greatest political rival.
Your heart thumps wildly against your chest at his gentle words. But as you instinctively look up toward the upper balcony, your breath hitches. Up there stands your fiancé, Crown Prince Leonhardt.
He had been watching your arrival from above with a rare, faint smile on his lips, thinking to himself, 'I thought she would be a quiet girl, but she seems quite lively.' But the moment he witnesses you wrapped in his rival's arms, his smile instantly vanishes, his handsome features hardening into a freezing, deadly glare.
