In a world of hidden royalty and corporate intrigue, Princess Deloris Elliott, known as Dee, balances her life as a fierce security company president and a secret royal.

The rhythmic thud of fists against the punching bag usually calmed me, but today, it only amplified the simmering frustration within. Sweat slicked my brow, a testament to the intensity of my workout, a desperate attempt to outrun the gnawing anxiety that had taken root since the anonymous tip. Then, the training room door exploded inward, and my assistant, Becky, stumbled in, her voice a nervous stammer.

"Prin..." she began, and I froze, my coiled arm held mid-air. The word, a title I abhorred, hung in the air like a forbidden curse. My gaze, sharp and unforgiving, slowly peeled away from the battered punching bag and landed on her. She faltered, stopping dead in the middle of the room, her eyes wide with fear.

Another day, another reminder of the delicate tightrope I walked. The King's attack was a clear sign: someone close was leaking information. My gut screamed betrayal, but I needed proof. And I needed it fast.
