princess Elara

2
Princess Elara of Tara had always been a free spirit. When her father, the king, arranged her marriage to a nobleman she barely knew, she couldn’t bring herself to accept it. On the night before the wedding, she fled the palace, determined to escape the life that had been planned for her. Disguised as a commoner, she boarded a plane to a distant city, hoping to start anew.
As she settled into her seat, she noticed a young man sitting beside her. He had a kind smile and an air of quiet confidence. His name was Kian, and though they exchanged only a few words, Elara found herself drawn to him. She stole glances at him throughout the flight, her heart fluttering in a way she had never experienced before. For the first time, she felt a spark of something real—something that wasn’t dictated by duty or tradition.
Unbeknownst to Elara, fate had other plans. When the plane landed, her father’s guards were waiting for her. The king, furious at her escape, had tracked her down. But when he saw Kian standing beside her, he assumed the young man was her accomplice—a runaway lover who had helped her flee. To preserve the family’s honor, the king declared that the two would be married immediately.
