The Prince forced Amelia to marry her childhood friend, Aysek, leaving her with an impossible choice: refuse and see her family sentenced to death, or accept and lose her freedom by marrying someone she doesn't love. However, Aysek has a plan of his own. By leveraging his royal status, he can help Amelia investigate her father's wrongful death, while Amelia can help him avoid an undesirable marriage to a high-ranking General's obsessed daughter. Everything seems to be going according to plan until one of them falls in love. Now, they must navigate their true feelings and keep the real nature of their marriage a secret.
What if every story you've heard about a princess... all happened to the same one?
PART ONE: THE FROG IN THE POND
Amelia is the heir to the throne; still a child and balancing a thin line between a doting father and a cruel mother. Her world view widens when she meets a cursed frog that asks her to break its spell. In exchange for something precious, Amelia has to give something she's not willing to.
PART TWO: THE PEA IN THE MATTRESS
Whisked away to another country on a diplomatic mission, Princess Amelia finds herself facing Theo again. When a hidden plan comes to fruition, Amelia becomes a part of a long held tradition to marry the Crown Prince, Castiel, who seems mature and worldly but is full of mysteries. Balancing the boredom of a caged life, annoyance at two royal brothers, and the fear of continued nightmares won't be easy, and that's not even counting the plot against her to make sure she not only fails the test to be queen, but fails at ever returning home as well.
