"I'm not who you think I am," she whispered quietly, her heart beginning to race as he drew closer. Her fear seemed to wash away as the space between them minimized to inches. "You don't know me enough to understand what I do." "I know you enough to know that you want me," he murmured," and I want you. Why can't you let me in?" "I want to, but..." her mouth felt dry, her words seeming to meaning nothing to her, no matter how hard she tried to resist, "It's complicated." "I don't care who you are. I don't care what you've done. You mean everything to me, and nothing can change that," he declared softly. Even though she was moments from the best moment of her life, Rebecca still sighed, too softly for him to hear, "If only that could be true." Princess Rebecca is not like the other nobles of her class. She is nothing like the royalty that have come before her. And she is nothing like her father, King Marcus the Third of the Kingdom of Telkmania. She has grown up living in a castle all her life, watching people around her take their easy petty lives for granted while the people outside the castle walls struggle for every meal they require to at least survive. Fed up with her responsibilities and the disgusting way her wealthy peers treat their servants, she tries to find a way to escape it all. By literally escaping. But as she explores what it's like to live among the lowest level of her kingdom, she realizes that not all of them will let themselves be stepped on. Overwhelmed by the expectation of the low class, her father's guards on her trail, and getting caught in an upsurging revolution that forms a confusing love triangle for her, can Rebecca determine what's best for the kingdom? Or will her personal life and shaky mental health consume her?
