Captivated [PROMO]

A former slave trying to navigate his way through life, a myschievious Prince who doesn't believe in rules, a care-free commoner girl who's struggling to live.

Kerian craved for freedom, but after realizing the hard way it was beyong his reach, he stopped believing in freedom and bent to the will of the Fates. Just when everything looked as though it was over for him, he was saved by a boy with defiant blue eyes and a smile that made Kerian feel things he never felt before. He swore then and there he would follow this boy no matter what it took, but feel nothing else other than loyalty. When he was struggling to keep his feelings in check, he met a cheerful maid named Violet, when she was happy, so was he, confusing Kerian even more than ever before. In the end who did his heart belong to?

When Silas was 13 and he wanted to prove himself to his father, he decided he would go with the Imperial knights on the mission to save children his age and younger, being treated as slaves. That day he met a slave boy that drew his gaze like no other. An undeniable attraction he couldn't put his finger on. He took the boy with him, to sort out his emotions, only for the years to pass by and it only got worse. Silas ignored it until he saw the boy with another girl. Smiling in a way he didn't know the other was capable of. New mission: Make Kerian fall in love with him.

Violet struggled to make a living just enough for herself, her younger sister, and frail mother, so when she saw the fliers for a maid position in the imperial palace, she took it. There, she bumped into an infuriating boy who treated rules as though it was religion. With her circumstances, Violet has learned to be grateful for even the smallest things and opptimism was the only thing keeping her from falling apart from the pressure, but when she was with the boy, she forgets everything and allows her emotions to take control. Was the blood boiling under her skin from hate or something else?
