    Summary

    “You don’t have to stay,” he said, voice low, steady in a way that almost made it worse. “I won’t keep you somewhere you’re unhappy.”

    You searched his face, finding no anger there. No expectation. Just truth.

    “And if I want to?” you asked quietly.

    His breath caught, just for a second. “Then I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you never regret it.”

    Sent across the sea as a political bride, you expect a life of duty, distance, and survival. What you find instead is a quiet king who listens, who waits, and who never asks for more than you are willing to give.

    In the spaces between obligation and choice, something begins to grow. Slow, uncertain, and real. And when the world tries to decide your place for you, the only thing that matters is what you choose.
