Crimson Vows (Shadow x Reader)

In a world where crowns are worn by killers and alliances are etched in blood, a marriage is forged not by love-but by duty.

You are a princess born of velvet and venom, the heir to a royal bloodline feared as much for its beauty as its lethality. Raised among silver tongues and silent daggers, your charm is a weapon, your smile as sharp as any blade.

He is Prince Shadow of the Blackstone Empire-cold, commanding, and ruthlessly precise. A sovereign forged in iron and expectation, he is everything a ruler must be: unreadable, unyielding, and entirely alone.

When your kingdoms demand peace, the price is your hand in marriage.

There is no protest. No pleading. Both of you know feelings are a luxury the crown cannot afford.

But as the wedding draws near, and alliances deepen in shadows beyond the throne room, you begin to realize that trust-however fragile-may be the deadliest gamble of all.

This is not a love story.
This is a pact between predators.
And the world will tremble if it breaks.
