Two hearts. Two duties. One crown between them.
As the Duchess of the West, you have spent your life learning how to lead, protect, and carry the weight of those who depend upon you. You know your responsibilities, and you have never allowed yourself to forget them.
But there is one thing you have never been able to command-your heart.
Hoshina Soshiro, Crown Prince of the Empire, has been part of your life since childhood. Once, the two of you were inseparable. Now, years of duty and distance have turned what was once simple into something neither of you can openly claim.
You are the Duchess of the West. He is the heir to the Imperial throne.
Loving each other is easy.
Finding a way to be together is not.
As political tensions rise, the seasons change, and Kaiju threaten the Empire from beyond its borders, you and Hoshina must decide how much you are willing to sacrifice-and whether love and duty truly have to stand on opposite sides.
Because sometimes, the hardest battle is not against the enemy.
It is finding a way to choose each other without abandoning everything else.
