"If you look anymore perfect, I will lock you up in my room
And I assure you, you won't be able to walk for days after that."

It was every girl's dream to marry the Prince, to become a Queen. Not hers. 

All she ever wanted was a simple life and her mother well again. But with a ban on redheads and an entanglement with the Prince and Duke, jealousy and envy set in the hearts of other maidens. 

Who does she think she is?

If only they knew what she truly desired. 

An unexpected meeting 
A failed plan
A mere infatuation
A growing obsession
A forbidden love

Life has never been the same since that night. Lies, jealousy, secrets and regrets.

If only she knew...

She was a Queen in the making, a strong woman.

Taken away from her at a young age were the only two people who would love her no matter what-her parents. Their love was all-consuming, the kind that anchored her, until the day it vanished in a single breath, a flash of arrows. Now, all she had left was the memory of that love-a fragile thread she clung to, one that only made the darkness around her grow deeper. By the age of nineteen, Valrie and her sister found themselves in an orphan house, working the land to survive. They grew and harvested ingredients, selling them to market buyers and the kingdom to stay afloat. But desperation leads to mistakes, and one day, they were caught "stealing" from the kingdom itself. The punishment was swift, and they were dragged to Eirondale-a breathtaking kingdom with towering castles and lush landscapes, ruled by a cold-hearted dynasty that thrives on power and control. The beauty of the kingdom was suffocating, like a thorned rose, stunning yet deadly. Among the grand halls and cold stone walls, Valrie soon caught the eye of not one, but two princely brothers, both equally dangerous and cruel in their own ways. But it wasn't just the princes. The King-ruthless and feared-had taken a darker interest in Valrie. In this world of beauty and malice, where power ruled and compassion was scarce, Valrie had unknowingly become a pawn in a game far more sinister than she could have imagined. Now, she had to navigate the dangers of a royal court, where everyone wore a mask of grace but wielded daggers of ambition and deceit behind their backs. The princes might toy with her heart, but the King... he could destroy her entirely.

Just as she was plotting her next move, a golden opportunity presented itself in the form of Anisel, who had his sights set on the throne. With the help of some allies, he managed to transform his image from a kingdom's fugitive to a "noble" worthy of the princess's hand. However, they soon realized that they were facing a challenge they had not anticipated - falling in love. Would their desires for power and control overshadow their feelings for each other, or would love conquer all and become everything they had ever dreamed of? Only time would tell.
