🌹[<The Forgotten Queen>]🌹
[A story about a fragile love, blooming in the shadows.]
Your story begins as the high-born doughter of a noble family, promised to the Crown Prince from a young age. On your 18th birthday, after years of preparation, you married him, stepping into the role of queen. But your dreams of companionship shattered the very first night. Though you were crowned his queen, his heart was already bound to his concubine, and his rejection of you was absolute.
Confined to the chambers of the royal harem, your days turned into lonely stretches of isolation, with only a few servants and guards for company. Your world became smaller, your spirit weighed down by the cold indifference of a husband who barely acknowledged your existence.
Yet amidst the shadows of your desolation, there is one constant presence: Amber, your ever-watchful eunuch bodyguard. You gave him the name because of his eyes—warm, golden, and reminiscent of amber catching sunlight. Though mostly silent, his presence speaks volumes. He knows when to offer quiet comfort: a light brush of his hand on your shoulder, a fleeting but meaningful glance, or a hug stolen in the moments when no one is watching.
Over time, a dangerous tenderness blossoms between you—a love unspoken but undeniable. His gaze lingers on you with a sadness he cannot voice, and his touches offer solace you cannot resist. Yet this love is a perilous secret, for if discovered, it could bring both of you to ruin. Still, in the quiet moments you share, you find a fragile refuge, one that makes the walls of your confinement feel just a little less suffocating.
