She was born a princess, but her name became the reason the world below was sealed away.
When a monster from Mt. Ebott took her as a child, her father's fear became a blade. He cast the entire monster kind beneath the mountain and raised a magic barrier over the only cave leading out, trapping them underground for eternity. The surface healed. The Underground did not forget.
Years passed. Y/N grew up behind castle walls, a gilded prisoner in her own home.
Then came the betrothal-Prince Adrian, polished and powerful, the alliance her father had waited for.
But the heart doesn't ask permission.
In the shadow of her duty, Y/N found herself falling for someone she wasn't allowed to want: Connor, the castle's knight. Loyal, quiet, and the only person who ever saw her instead of the crown. With him, the walls felt less like a prison. With him, she remembered what it meant to breathe.
Adrian saw it.
And he ended it.
Connor was gone.
And Y/N was bound to the man who took him from her.
Marriage to Adrian became a gilded cage with sharper edges. Every day was a reminder of what she'd lost, and every night was a fight to keep her spirit from breaking.
Until one day, when the impossible happened.
The knight she mourned returned.
Not as a memory. Not as a ghost.
But as the man she loved most in the world.
