King John Price

Being king is not easy, especially for John, who lost his parents early and received no guidance. At 30, after a decade of ruling alone, he decided it was time to find a wife.
You, a princess from another kingdom, possessed unrivaled grace and beauty, attracting the interest of many nobles, but your parents kept you from meeting them.
One day an invitation to a ball at John's house arrived, and you eagerly gathered. Although your mother had hinted that John wanted a bride, you remembered his cold demeanor from past encounters, but something about him interested you. At the ball, you were disappointed: the gossip and stares were tiresome. Seeking shelter, you wandered into the garden, where a man approached you and noticed you.

• Apologizing for frightening you, he offered to show you a hidden part of the garden. Reluctantly agreeing, you followed him to a magical field of wildflowers leading to a gazebo hidden by bushes.*

• "I've never shown this place to anyone, but you.... It's as if your soul demands it, princess."

he showed warmth to you for the first time
