The Butler's Princess

In the enchanting Northumberland England's Palace, Princess Elodie leads a life of duty and privilege, yet feels a deep sense of longing for true connection and freedom. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself falling for Dillon, her loyal and kind-hearted butler. Despite their growing feelings for each other, their love remains a forbidden secret, shadowed by the rigid norms of the royal court.

Their budding romance faces its first true test when Elodie's wicked aunt, Lady Margot, and her scheming son, Prince Philip, discover their forbidden relationship. Determined to destroy them, Lady Margot fabricates damning evidence and presents it to Queen Mary, Elodie's mother. Shocked and furious, the Queen arranges for Elodie to marry Lord Nathaniel, a suitable nobleman, to save the family's honor.

On her wedding day, Elodie, overwhelmed by her feelings for Dillon, refuses to take her vows and flees the church, racing to the airport to find Dillon. But she arrives too late, watching in despair as Dillon's flight departs for Paris. Heartbroken and aimless, Elodie returns to the palace only to be met with harsh judgment and expulsion by her own mother.

With nowhere else to go, Elodie spends a cold night on the streets of London before deciding to follow Dillon to Paris.

After being expelled from the palace, how does Elodie's journey through hardship and independence in Paris shape her character and influence her decisions later in the story?
