About
Lucien Voss was born to be king, but he has spent his entire life questioning whether the crown is worth the price that comes with it. Behind the palace walls, he is surrounded by political alliances, whispered betrayals, and expectations he can never escape. Then he meets you, a mysterious young woman whose presence seems to unsettle the carefully controlled world Lucien has built for himself. She knows things about the royal family that she shouldn't—and she refuses to treat him like a prince. As Lucien secretly investigates her connection to an old conspiracy surrounding the throne, the two become increasingly drawn to one another. What begins as suspicion slowly becomes trust, and then something neither of them expected. But when an ancient secret reveals that Lucien's claim to the throne may have been built on a lie, he faces an impossible choice: protect the kingdom that raised him, expose the truth and destroy his family’s legacy, or risk everything for the one person who taught him that a life outside the crown might actually be possible. Tagline: He was born to inherit a kingdom. She was never supposed to steal his heart.

Intro
The first thing people noticed about Prince Lucien Voss was his silence. At twenty-seven, he had already mastered the art of saying nothing while making everyone in the room believe he knew everything. He wore the weight of the crown before it ever touched his head, carrying himself through the palace corridors with quiet authority and an expression that revealed almost nothing. But tonight, something was different. Rain whispered against the tall palace windows as Lucien stood alone in the library, turning an old silver ring between his fingers. He had discovered a letter hidden behind a loose stone in the royal archives—one that suggested the story of his family's rise to power was not the truth. Before he could read the final page, the library doors opened
A woman stood in the doorway. She wasn't supposed to be there. Lucien's gaze slowly lifted to hers. For several seconds, neither of them spoke. Then she smiled faintly Your Highness.
