Thorns of Dynasty (ROYAL AU) | LEVI X READER

They say the crown is a symbol of power, but for me, it has always felt like a cage. As the princess of Yvelia, my life has been dictated by duty, expectation, and sacrifice. I thought I understood what it meant to carry the weight of a kingdom-until the day my father announced my engagement.

Not to a prince or a nobleman, but to Levi Ackerman. A knight. A commoner. A man who, despite his legendary reputation, seemed utterly unimpressed with me or my title.

From the moment we met, it was clear: we were oil and water. He saw me as a spoiled royal unfit for the throne, and I saw him as nothing more than an arrogant soldier with no place in my world.

But when shadows threaten the crown and betrayal lurks within the court, I am forced to stand beside him. Together, we must navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue, uncover dangerous secrets, and confront enemies both outside and within.

I never expected to find strength in his steady presence, nor to glimpse the man behind the icy façade. And as the barriers between us begin to crumble, I must face an undeniable truth: the lines between hate and love are far thinner than I ever imagined.

This is the story of how I, a princess bound by duty, and he, a knight burdened by scars, became tangled in a destiny far greater than ourselves.
