~BWWM. WMBW. Interracial. Love Triangle. Historical. Royalty. -Oops I fell in love with my brother's wife...~ - In Pantoran there are 3 Princes in line for the throne. The oldest has been bred to be king, the middle is an esteemed knight and warrior on behalf of the kingdom and the youngest brother is still growing into his age.

His brother also notices the treasure that lies within the Princess too. The Princess' kingdom is in jeopardy of being raided and their people subjected to war and atrocities. She goes to Pantoran in exchange for aid for her kingdom but finds herself falling for the Prince too. When she doesn't fulfill the stipulations of Pantoran's agreement with Mardalia, her kingdom is in jeopardy of losing its war. The Prince's middle brother steps up to save her when she needs it the most. - He chuckled. "I don't know... I know our arrangement, but I do not see why either of us must do it without...warmth or love. Whatever the outcome I want you to be happy and wish to help you find that." "You are a hopeless romantic Prince Atticus," she said with a giggle and teasing push of his shoulders. "I am too." His face brightened up red as he leaned into her. She sat with her breath held as they both peered into each others eyes closely. He moved a stray curl from her face before smiling and leaning back. "I look forward to wedding you Princess Aisha." - "Yes, Atticus will thank me for this." "Or hate you for getting to try this, in his absence." The princess said teasingly. Or hate me for trying this. He certainly would. Aurelius thought to himself.
