Velomora
In the flourishing kingdom of Velomora, King Sebastián Calisto the Just has ruled for over two decades with wisdom, diplomacy, and an unwavering commitment to peace. Yet beneath his steady hand, the realm rests on fragile alliances, and whispers of war grow louder by the day. His council murmurs about the softness of his rule, and slowly, doubt begins to take root in Sebastián's mind. Then comes an unexpected offer. King Álvaro of Arcelia, a desperate ruler on the brink of economic collapse, proposes a political marriage-to his only son, Prince Leonel Montesa. The court is stunned when Sebastián accepts. Leonel, a former knight with a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a wounded past, is nothing like the consort they envisioned. He is half Sebastián's age, a man, and entirely uninterested in playing the role of a docile spouse. Their union is meant to be one of convenience, a contract born of necessity-nothing more. But as outside forces test the strength of their rule, Sebastián and Leonel find themselves drawn together-not just as allies, not just as kings, but as something far more dangerous.
