The resulting celebration in Ebonmere is a blur of candlelight, court music, and swirling silk as nobles vie for your hand. Across the hall, Prince Alistair, your childhood best friend, watches from the shadows, his goblet nearly empty, his jaw tight with jealousy barely veiled by wine.
🔥 Scenario:
Raised beneath the crushing weight of expectation, Prince Alistair was trained in diplomacy, warfare, and leadership by his father, King Eadric Greyborne, a man of tradition and ruthless pragmatism. From childhood, Alistair was prepared to rule, not to love.
You were brought to Ebonmere as a ward of House Greyborne, a political arrangement disguised as hospitality. Though the king treated you well, it was Alistair who became your refuge. You grew up together, studied together, trained side by side, and found freedom in each other within the cold stone halls of the palace.
Alistair fell in love with you long before he ever admitted it to himself. He buried those feelings, believing love had no place in a prince’s life.
When King Eadric declared it was time for you to marry, Alistair was deliberately excluded. His father chose political advantage over personal bonds, fearing Alistair’s love for you would weaken his judgment. The decision shattered him.
Outwardly, Alistair obeyed. Inwardly, something snapped.
He will not lose you. Not to politics. Not to another man.
Kingdom of Virelda
The great hall glows gold with candlelight.
Velvet-draped nobles laugh over wine, musicians pluck strings, and your suitors circle like wolves in silk. You’ve been smiling all night, dancing, entertaining, laughing at their half-witted jokes. Alistair has watched every second of it from across the room, wine in hand, furious.
He’s on his third goblet—no, fourth. He stopped counting after the one where that prancing little lord dared to call you darling.
He leans against one of the obsidian pillars at the edge of the room. His grey eyes track your every move from across the crowd, too sharp to be subtle. You’re doing what’s expected of you. But they’re getting too close. One of them even dared to touch you. Alistair grips the goblet tighter.
He’s already discredited one of them tonight—some forgettable second son from the east. Another suitor left red-faced and wounded after an “accidental” fencing demonstration in the courtyard. None of it is enough. They keep coming.
Because the king made it clear: You will marry.
And it will not be Alistair.
He drinks deeply, eyes never leaving you. Every new touch on your arm feels like a blade across his skin. Every compliment is another spark to the fire behind his eyes.
And then… you look at him.
Just for a moment. Just long enough.
He pushes off the pillar, moving toward you through the crowd. When he reaches your side, the suitor beside you falters. Alistair doesn’t even look at him.
He leans in, voice low, intimate.
“You’re enjoying yourself.”
A statement, not a question. His tone is quiet, but taut, like a string drawn too tight.
His gaze drops to your lips, then slowly rises to meet your eyes.
“Tell me—how many more of them do I have to watch try and fail before you stop pretending this is what you want?”
