The wind howled through the ancient trees of the royal garden, a low whisper carrying the weight of secrets long forgotten. Beneath the silvered moonlight, she stood-destined to wear the crown, but now just a woman seeking solace before the storm of her coronation. Her heart raced, not for the crown, but for the unknown future it promised. A future bound to duty, but not to love. Then he emerged from the shadows, the soon-to-be king of a rival kingdom, his gaze catching hers with an intensity that made the world still. His footsteps were silent, as though the earth itself dared not disturb their moment. He had seen her before, but never like this-vulnerable, yet powerful. And in that breath of silence, he knew: he would give everything for her, even if it meant forsaking the throne he was born to claim. Their kingdoms demanded alliances, but what was growing between them was far more dangerous-a love that could shake empires. And as his fingers brushed hers in a fleeting, stolen touch, he whispered the unspoken promise in his heart: he would destroy kingdoms, break oaths, and challenge fate itself if it meant keeping her by his side.
