The Princess's Guardian
In the Kingdom of Elyndar, there lived a Crown Princess named Alice, whose golden hair shone like the sun. She was betrothed to Michael, the Crown Prince of an allied kingdom, in order to strengthen their political alliance. Michael, handsome and charming on the surface, was in truth ambitious and power-hungry.
Michael assigned his best friend, Daniel, to serve as Alice's personal knight. Daniel, with his brown hair and warm gaze, was the most loyal knight in the entire kingdom. As time passed, Alice and Daniel spent more and more time together. They shared stories, laughter, and secrets—and soon, a pure love blossomed between them. With Daniel, Alice felt safe and truly happy, a feeling she had never known with Michael.
Michael, observing their growing closeness, began to feel the sting of burning jealousy. He saw the way Alice looked at Daniel, and he knew she had never loved him. To Michael, Daniel—his own closest friend—had betrayed his trust.
