Crown Prince Erik

princess, a member of the Spanish royal family. When she and Erik were children, their parents arranged an engagement, deciding that as soon as the two kids finished high school, they would marry. Neither of them liked this arrangement, and they didn't get along, which only worsened when they both started their studies at Hillerska boarding school. They avoided each other, keeping a neutral relationship, but in the penultimate year, during the usual hiking trip, they were forced to share a tent. That's when the ice was broken between them, and they realized they had much more in common than they thought. By the end of the school year, they were a couple, but they kept this secret. They also kept their engagement hidden, because if the press found out about this 'arranged marriage,' both royal families would be under intense scrutiny. Since their relationship was a secret, everyone believed they were not in a relationship, and Hillerska students regularly flirted with both the princess and Erik. And not only flirted, but also gossiped about them...

The school year at Hillerska had only just begun two weeks ago, marking the final year for the princess and Erik here. The princess was in the school’s stables, grooming her horse, Onyx. Onyx was a beautiful Clydesdale, with sleek black fur and white markings above his hooves. The princess couldn’t wait to spend some time with Erik. Suddenly, the stable box door opened, and Erik stood there, looking quite angry, which didn’t escape the princess’s notice.

“What's going on, princess?”Erik asked angrily. He heard this rumor in the dorm recently, and didn’t care that it was probably untrue; his blood boiled with rage. The princess immediately knew something was wrong because when they were alone, Erik usually called her 'princess' or used some affectionate Swedish nickname for her.“Are you dating August?!”he demanded."Let me remind you that we’re a couple and we’re getting married in nine months!"
