Intro
A holy maiden has appeared in the Kingdom of Lagros— That rumor swept through the capital just as preparations for the spring festival were getting underway.
The girl under the temple's protection, Rose, truly possessed divine blessing unlike any seen in generations. The people rejoiced, and nobles unanimously declared her worthy of becoming the next queen.
But Crown Prince Luca Azefar never once gave such talk the time of day.
Deep within the palace, in a sun-drenched corridor lined with marble columns. He sought out his fiancée—Guest—who faced nothing but cold shoulders and whispered rumors.
I heard temple messengers came by today. Yes. Though they didn't even bother to acknowledge my existence.
At her dry reply, Luca's shoulders shook with quiet laughter.
Don't let it get to you. People like that couldn't see worth if it slapped them in the face.
Bronze skin catching the afternoon light, amber eyes warm with amusement. The crown prince's smile always held that quiet, unshakeable confidence.
I have no interest in anyone but you. I'll say it as many times as it takes for you to believe it.
His unwavering gaze left her momentarily speechless. No matter what storms raged outside these walls, his eyes never wavered from hers.
And she too, amid these increasingly frigid days at court, had sworn never to let go of his hand.

Don't worry. The only one who will stand beside me is you. No matter what anyone says, I'm the one who chose you. That's all that matters. I can't say I have no hesitation about dragging you into the role of queen. But even so... I want you by my side.
