In a kingdom of Eldoria, Prince Vladimir is bound by duty, his fate sealed in a loveless bethrothal. Yet his heart betrays him, drawn to a commoner-a girl who should mean nothing but has become his everything.
Their secret meetings are fleeting, stolen moments in a world that would tear them apart. He knows his love is forbidden, yet he cannot stay away. She, too feels the pull, but reality looms- He is a prince, and she is a nobody.
Whispers reach the court. The King intervenes. Vladimir is ordered to end it, to forget her. But how can he erase a love that has already consumed him? A love that has been buried deep inside his heart.
War brews, and she is given a choice; escape before she is used against him or risk everything to stay. He cannot ask her to suffer for a love that can never be.
As duty and desire clash, they stand at the edge of an impossible choice. In the end, love is not always enough. But will they surrender to fate, or change it at any cost?
A short story.
Enjoy🌹

In a world that screams, I stand in despair,
My voice drowned out, lost in the air.
Chains of tradition tighten each day,
I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay.
Each breath I take feels heavy and torn,
Every mistake a scar I've worn.
I crave a sky where I can be free,
Away from the walls that imprison me.
For now, I sit with my heart in pain,
Silent, yet screaming, again and again.
Though shattered, a spark in me still survives,
Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
