I've always been told I was a mistake. A shadow in my family's eyes, a curse tied to my mother's death. But what they didn't know, what I never knew, was that the truth runs deeper than guilt and blame.
The Crown Prince-distant, cold, a ruler burdened by the weight of a kingdom-came into my life like a storm. At first, I despised him. How could I not? He represented everything I hated: privilege, power, and a life so different from mine. Yet, as fate would have it, we became bound together.
What I didn't expect was that his heart, as closed off as it seemed, would come to hold mine. I didn't think I could love him. But I did. More than I ever thought possible.
But love, it seems, was never meant to be mine. The truth about who I really am, the one that my mother buried with her got lost into this plainless world.
There is no truth without pain, blood, and unninvited fame. That's why it always bleeds.
