Hal and Leia's love was pure, untainted by the burdens of titles or duty. Before the weight of the crown fell upon him, Hal cherished Leia for who she was-a woman of humble beginnings, fierce spirit, and boundless devotion. But when Hal ascends to the throne, their love is no longer their own. Pressured by advisors and bound by duty to his kingdom, Hal makes the heartbreaking decision to end their relationship, shattering the bond they thought unbreakable. As Hal ascends to the throne, the weight of duty presses heavily upon him, and their stolen moments become fraught with danger. To the court, Leia is a commoner-a woman of no title, no legacy, and no right to stand at a king's side. Yet to Hal, she is his solace, his sanctuary amidst the chaos of power. Leia must face the painful truth: can love survive in a world that demands its silence? Or will the crown claim even the deepest parts of Hal's heart? Set against the harsh realities of medieval England, this fanfic weaves a tale of forbidden love, impossible choices, and the price of devotion in a world where royalty is everything.All Rights Reserved
