Behind Painted Smile

In the Kingdom of Luminara, the royal jester is known for one thing - his painted smile.

Always smiling. Always performing. Always the fool of Bojnice Castle.

No one ever asked who he really was.

Because to them, he was nothing more than entertainment - a shadow that existed only to make the nobility laugh beneath the golden lights of the palace.

But behind the painted face lies a truth no one in Luminara could ever imagine.

He is Gusion Paxley, a runaway prince who abandoned his crown after a violent conflict with his older brother - the heir who now sits closer to the throne he once was destined to inherit.

He left behind his name, his title, and his future as king... in exchange for freedom.

Or so he thought.

Everything changes when he meets Princess Guinevere Baroque, the radiant yet restless heir of Luminara. A princess born into gold, but suffocating beneath its weight.

She is everything he should stay away from.

And yet, she is the only one who sees through him - beyond the jokes, beyond the performance, beyond the painted smile.

As their worlds collide through sarcasm, chaos, and unexpected encounters, an undeniable connection begins to grow between them.

But in Luminara, secrets are never meant to stay hidden.

And the closer Guinevere gets to the truth, the more dangerous their bond becomes.

Because one day, the painted smile will fade...

and the prince beneath it will have to choose between the crown he ran from...

or the love he was never supposed to find.

In Luminara, even fairytales have consequences.
