Royal Fools von greenwriter

As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy. She doesn't expect that her betrothed, King Emory of Sutherland, will send her straight to an empty estate on an island where they fend for themselves for months. And when he finally shows up, he has the audacity to fool her by introducing himself as someone else. After having killed dozens of chickens with her bare hands to stay alive, and with lying as her ultimate weapon for survival since she left Gavaria, what else can an annoyed, blithe, and audacious Florence do? Of course, she has to return the favor and make him twice the fool. He thinks he's fooling her, and she finds fun knowing it's the other way around. As the harsh winter traps them in the estate, lies, little accidents, and undeniable attraction draw them together stronger than the snowstorm. But not as much as Florence's true reasons for leaving Gavaria, which are also making their way to Sutherland.

Daisy, daughter of shining gold, in a vast mansion where her story unfolds. Surrounded by treasures yet feeling alone. A lost girl wandering in a world of glass and stone. With silken gowns and jewels that gleam, she chases shadows, forever lost in a dream. In the silence of nights, her heart starts to swell, longing for warmth within a glimmering shell. Yet deep in her heart, a flicker remains, a whisper of hope that breaks through the chains. Seeking the light at the tunnel's end to find her true self and begin to mend. *** Daisy Beaumont has always lived a life of privilege, bound by tradition and societal expectations. Raised in luxury, her future is set by the standards of her family, until she meets Riley Hunt, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, where the streets were unforgiving, the nights restless, and dreams carried the weight of survival. Riley is nothing like the polished men Daisy is expected to marry, and yet, she is drawn to him. As their relationship grows, Daisy begins to question everything: her life, her privilege, and the person she's been told to be. With Riley, she discovers a freedom she's never known, but embracing it means breaking away from the expectations that have defined her life. Their journey is one of defiance-challenging social norms, breaking free from the constraints of tradition, and fighting against the expectations imposed by their families and society. As their connection deepens, it unfolds slowly, filled with passion and tension. Their worlds were never meant to collide. But they did. And in that collision, everything changed.
