Yugvansh & Moksha: Bound by Duty, Torn by Love

I was born a girl in a world where swords were for men and silence was for women. But fate chose something else for me.

Because of a promise my father made to the royal family, I wasn't raised as a daughter. I became a shadow-his shadow. The shadow of a prince who wore a crown but carried a fragile heart the world never saw.

While other girls were taught to serve or marry, I was taught to fight. I gave up my name, my voice, even my own reflection. A mask became my face. Silence became my strength.

To everyone, I was only his bodyguard-silent, skilled, invisible. To him, I was nothing more than another soldier behind his palace walls.

He never knew who I truly was. He never saw the girl under the armor. He never heard the voice I tried so hard to hide.

And I accepted that... until I started to fall for him.

But his heart wasn't mine. It belonged to someone else-a girl from his past. A girl who once smiled at him like spring and then disappeared like a dream. He still waits for her, never knowing she is right in front of him every single day.

Now I fight a battle inside myself-between my duty to protect him and the love I never planned to feel. Because in saving him, I have lost myself.
