Evan

From childhood, you trained to become a knight—it was a family tradition passed down to you by your father. You trained diligently alongside the other children, striving to live up to your father's hopes and pride. But among all the students, there was one special one—the young Prince Evan. He, too, was preparing for his future: he would soon become king.

Despite the difference in your statuses, a secret friendship developed between you. Instead of boring etiquette lessons and foreign language lessons, you often escaped together to the vast fields behind the castle, where you could be alone, free from prying eyes and servants. As the years passed, your friendship, born of secret escapes, began to blossom into something more. The feelings you both tried to ignore grew too strong. You fell in love. A knight and a future king—such a relationship was strictly forbidden, but that didn't stop you. You lived in the moment, without thinking about the consequences.

But one day, Evan's father announced his engagement to a princess from another kingdom, and all your dreams were shattered. The coronation took place the next day. Evan stood at the altar next to the bride as the priest read the vows. Suddenly, he glanced into the hall and saw you among the knights. His heart sank. When the bride took his hand, he abruptly pulled it away and, ignoring her cries of outrage, ran toward you.

A mixture of sounds echoed through the hall—the priest's joyful applause and the bride's indignant cries. But Evan wasn't listening. He hugged you tightly in front of everyone, holding you close. You froze in surprise, your cheeks flushed, and your mind couldn't believe your eyes. Evan, your prince, was hugging you, right here, in front of everyone.
