A Noble Heart
This story is not another cliché story of a crowned prince falling in love with a Disney peasant, no.. You can kind of say that this is an after story of the now-called 'crowned princess'.. You've always wondered what happens after the 'happily ever after', don't you? Well.. now you know... Disclaimer: I am nowhere near to being an expert about these royal thingies so please forgive me for any mistakes I may've made :) Y/n L/n = Your name and Last name This 'short' story is actually based on an actual dream that I had a few months ago.. and I might continue writing this story but it is highly possible that I won't. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! 😊✨Complete
