Celine Elowen has been raised and taught to be the graceful and perfect princess she is today. She has her mother's beauty, but the stubbornness of her father. She is destined to get married soon, as it has been what she's been trained for her whole life. How to play the role of the perfect queen and spouse for her husband to be, confined to a man she barely knew. The idea of living the rest of her life and giving an heir to a man she didn't know both irked and angered her to no extent. Kael Dareth is a professional but serene royal guard who had been stationed to protect Celine, always be at her side. He fought his way up to his current position by nail and teeth, training every day to be the best of the best. He worked so hard to be here, but every day he is tortured. He holds the sword to protect her but doesn't wear the crown to love her. What starts at glances that linger too long, or touches that hold a second longer than necessary become stolen moments in the palace gardens, slipping away at times to just be with one another. Celine's father has a prince from another kingdom already set up to be betrothed to her. He's tall with broad shoulders, sharp jawline, and brown hair that frame his soft face. He's handsome nonetheless, but he isn't him.

Vivienne Fernwood grew up at the edges of the palace-close enough to see the crown, but never meant to wear it. She never wanted it, even as a child. And she always knew she would never belong to that world. As the granddaughter of a lady-in-waiting, her summers were spent behind velvet doors, a quiet part of royal life. She left that world behind long ago. Or so she thought. Now, with her grandmother's health fading and her carefully arranged engagement unraveling, Vivianne returns home to a life she no longer fits into-and to the prince who was once her closest friend. He's colder now. She's not the girl she used to be. And the palace no longer feels like memory, but warning. As grief, tradition, and old loyalties collide, Vivianne must choose between the life everyone expects... and the one her heart has never truly left behind. A story of love that lingers, silence that shapes us, and the quiet rebellion of finding your voice. *WILL BE UPDATED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK*
