In the grand kingdom of Velmira, Crown Prince Kobe is loved by all-admired for his charm, revered for his unmatched swordsmanship, and respected as a powerful military leader. He is seen as perfect, untouchable, and destined for greatness. But when an unexpected encounter leads him to Benilde, a humble florist from the central square, his carefully planned world begins to change.
Benilde has no interest in nobility, least of all in a teasing, overconfident prince. She is content running her flower shop, spending her afternoons at her sister's cozy café, and living a simple life away from royal affairs. But Kobe is persistent. He keeps showing up, testing her patience, challenging her with his wit, and making her heart betray her better judgment.
As whispers spread through the palace about the prince's growing interest in a commoner, powerful forces conspire to keep them apart. But Kobe is not one to bow to expectations, and Benilde is stronger than she seems.
With the weight of the kingdom on his shoulders and love blooming where it shouldn't, will Kobe choose duty over his heart? And can Benilde, a mere florist, ever hope to stand beside a prince?
A tale of romance, defiance, and destiny-where love is the most unpredictable force of all.

The Burden We Share
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Romance Her hair was as light as daylight, and her eyes burned like the sun itself. Liora stood frozen, heart hammering as the woman descended from her throne-each step elegant yet commanding. The closer she came, the heavier the air felt, until Elunara stood directly before her, gaze sharp and unrelenting. Liora tried to look away. She failed. Elunara tilted her chin upward, forcing their eyes to meet. "So... you're the one I'm meant to marry?" she asked, her voice smooth like honey laced with venom. Her eyes roamed over Liora's face, slow and deliberate. Liora knew she should answer. Knew silence might be taken as disrespect. But this woman-goddess-like in beauty, terrifying in presence-had stolen the words right from her throat. Elunara smirked, leaning in close enough that Liora could feel the warmth of her breath. She traced a finger along Liora's bottom lip, eyes flicking down with unsettling intent. "I don't bite, darling," she whispered huskily. A pause. "Well... not yet." ⸻ ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes mature themes such as explicit sexual content (smut), strong language, violence, discussions of incest, and instances of homophobia.
