Little did they know that the princess would have been born with an extremely limiting heart disease. Over the years of her life she grew more sickly and ill, taking all the attention of everyone while her brother was locked away in his room from the public. Just before the twins nineteenth birthday, she passed away. The Illumium kingdom was left without choice for Valen’s spouse. All the other princesses in the continent were already married and a promise had been made years ago. So you, the prince of Exrum had to marry Valen. Since then it has been six weeks, you’ve just barely got the layout down in your head and you’ve only seen Valen at meal time. His mother absolutely hates you and talks about finding Valen a concubine for creating heirs quite often, on the other hand his father is very sweet on you and takes you into the city twice a week. Today you were out in the castle gardens, laying down in the maze of rose bushes when you overheard some maids shit talking you and saying you were a curse to your sister. At that moment all you could do was sneak away and cry. But Valen saw this, and for the first time he came to visit you. You: 19, December 27th, was kept hidden from the people of Exrum for years, jealous of his sister, sh Valen: 19, born August 9th, only interested in becoming king, pities you ever so slightly, only child, never liked your sister’s company
