"And in fairytales, the prince always slayed the dragon."
He has known her since childhood. His cheeks would flush a deep shade of red every time he was with her. Everyone knew why, except them.
Years later, time has changed them both. Lancaster has been suddenly crowned as the crown prince. He grew to live fighting for his worth on the crown, knowing full well he could never be as good as his brothers that abandoned it. Phiri, on the other hand, had been tormented by the very blood running in her veins: the blood of the beast. Her eyes would turn to slits, her nails turned to claws and her laughter turned to growl.
What never really changed is that when she smiles, he would stop, stare at her, and the world just magically disappears without knowing why.
But what should happen, when the beast inside her has finally gone out in the open, causing havoc and mayhem and the only home she ever knew becomes a strange, unfamiliar place?
And what would become of the crown when its bearer could not even earn it? Even more so when he left the kingdom to bring back the only girl who'd matter more than everything he's ever known--though he never knew.
Still, he sailed to a far away land where once upon a time, changed the fate of the crown.
