22 parts Ongoing MaturePrincess Victoria of Prussia has always longed for a life beyond the gilded cage of her castle. Sharp-witted and fiercely independent, she finds solace in disguise-spending her days at the modiste, designing gowns, and slipping into the bustling streets of town, where, for a fleeting moment, she can taste freedom.
Since childhood, she has known her fate: a political marriage to King Hamish of Scotland, a union meant to strengthen alliances, not hearts. Love was never part of the arrangement, not even apart of her life-until a fateful day in the outskirts of town changes everything. There, she meets the enigmatic Prince Antonio of Spain, a man who sees her not as a pawn in a royal game but as the woman she longs to be.
For a year, their secret correspondence ignites a love neither can deny. But time is a cruel mistress, and when Victoria and Antonio reunite, the world they once dreamed of together is no longer the same. Bound by duty yet drawn by desire, Victoria must navigate a treacherous path of sacrifice, betrayal, and impossible choices.
Will she follow her heart, or will the weight of the crown crush the love she never expected to find?
