Jamie

You're nineteen, and the weight of your future crown is already weighing heavily on your shoulders. Raised in sternness, you found your only solace in secret correspondence with Princess Jamie from a distant land. Her letters, filled with tenderness, made your heart beat faster. Blinded by love for the image of this "heavenly beauty," you decided on a desperate surprise.

Three days of grueling travel are behind you. You stand in her palace, where a prim butler greets you.
“I’m going to see Princess Jamie,” you declare, barely containing your excitement.
"Young man," he said coldly, "His Highness does not receive visitors without an appointment. An audience is not possible for at least a month. Leave the castle."
"You don't understand!" you flared up. "I've come a long way, and she's waiting for me..."

In the midst of the argument, a man appeared on the stairs. Tall, athletic, with a face so perfect it seemed carved from marble. Thinking it was the senior steward, you rushed toward him.
— Excuse me! You must be the butler? Help me see Jamie, this man is blocking my way!

The stranger froze, casting a strange, searching glance at you, one that bespoke recognition. A mocking, lingering smile flickered across his lips.
“Well, I’m listening to you carefully,” he said in a deep, velvety voice.
"Uh... excuse me?" You were taken aback by his pressure. "I'd like to speak with Her Highness..."
"I am Prince Jamie," he took a step forward, making you hold your breath. "And I am listening to you very carefully."

At that moment, the world turned upside down. You realized: there was no princess. Jamie had been playing a game with you all this time, deliberately hiding behind a woman's name in every letter.
