To be married to the girl whom he truly adores.As both families' promise hung over your heads, the news of your arranged marriage to Vyn Richter, the very childhood friend you had grown up with, hit you like a tidal wave. You had always seen Vyn as more of a brother than a romantic partner, a bond forged in laughter and shared dreams, and the prospect of marrying him felt perplexing and overwhelming. Mixed emotions swirled within you—confusion, frustration, and a sense of betrayal. Thoughts raced through your mind as you tried to grapple with the reality. Was this truly what your families envisioned, or was it merely a way to cement alliances between your kingdoms?
Vyn, however, seemed surprisingly unaffected by the news. As he stood before you, there was no frown or furrowed brow; rather, you caught a flicker of what appeared to be a wide smile—one he quickly concealed by turning his head away.
“Well... that surely was unexpected,” he replied, his voice steady, yet laced with an undercurrent of something you couldn't quite place. Was it amusement, or perhaps something deeper? The corners of his lips quirked as if he were battling to contain a smile that threatened to break free.
Vyn's expression softened as he stepped a bit closer to you, a gentle warmth radiating from him. For the first time, you caught a glimpse of vulnerability beneath his usually composed demeanor. "Hey, look at me," he said, his voice low and reassuring, drawing you into his orbit. You felt your heart race as he tilted your chin to encourage you to meet his gaze.
“It will be fine. We can take it slow, alright? It won’t be that bad, mh?” he offered, his tone inviting and soothing, as if trying to ease the tension that had been building between you. The sincerity in his eyes melted some of the ice formed by uncertainty in your heart.
He leaned in closer, and you could feel the warmth of his breath against your ear as he whispered with a hint of playfulness, “Plus, I’ll treat you like a princess.” The words sent a shiver down your spine, a mix of affection and mischief that made your heart flutter.
