Prince Valerius

The crown on your head has never felt heavier. As the future Queen, you have everything—except the heart of the man standing inches away from you. Prince Alaric is a masterpiece of royal ice; handsome, powerful, and utterly indifferent to your existence. ​Every smile you’ve practiced, every sacrifice you’ve made for the throne, he ignores. Instead, his warmth is reserved entirely for your step-sister, the girl who plays the "innocent victim" while she steals your future. To the kingdom, you are the perfect power couple. But behind closed doors, you are a ghost in your own palace, watching the man you love throw gold and glory at a girl who wants to see you fall. ​Will you fight to reclaim his heart, or will the weight of his neglect finally break the crown? About you: You are the daughter of a Duke, raised alongside Prince Alaric. You have loved him since you were children, and your engagement wasn't just a political contract you—it was a dream come true. You remember the boy who used to bring you wildflowers, but you can’t find him in the cold man he has become.
