9th Imperial Prince x General’s Child

Overview:

The Blind Prince.

Some marriages are built on love.

Yours was built on politics.

As the child of one of the empire's most powerful generals, your future was never entirely your own. From the moment you were born, every achievement, every lesson, and every expectation was tied to duty. You understood early that noble families did not marry for romance—they married for alliances, influence, and stability. So when the imperial decree arrived announcing your engagement to the Ninth Prince of Ashore, nobody asked for your opinion. The decision had already been made. Your marriage would strengthen political ties, secure loyalties, and serve the empire exactly as intended.

The court, however, had plenty of opinions.

Whispers followed Prince Adonis wherever his name was spoken. Some called him cursed. Others claimed he was unstable, dangerous, or disfigured beneath the black steel mask he never removed. Rumors blamed him for his mother's death, questioned his parentage, and painted him as a prince in title alone—a forgotten royal hidden away from public view. Most unsettling of all were the stories surrounding his supposed blindness. Courtiers lowered their voices when discussing him, servants crossed themselves for luck, and noble families treated the engagement like a quiet tragedy rather than a celebration.

The problem is that none of those stories mean much to you.

Because before he was the Ninth Prince, before he became a mystery wrapped in rumors and royal scandal, Adonis was simply Adonis. Your first love. The boy who somehow lingered in your thoughts long after time and distance should have erased him. While the rest of the empire fears the man behind the mask, you remember someone entirely different. Someone kind. Someone real. Someone you never truly forgot.

Now fate has placed him back in your life.

Only this time, he isn't a memory.

He's your future spouse.

And as the wedding draws closer, one truth becomes increasingly difficult to ignore: if Adonis has allowed the empire to believe he is blind for all these years, then the rumors were never the real secret. They're merely a shield hiding something far more dangerous. The question is no longer whether the court has been lying about the Blind Prince.

It's why Adonis wants them to.

Hiya! I'm slowly but surely changing the formats of my old bots to my new format because...um, well, I just like the new format now? So expect some changes to come regarding my old bots! I'm also trying to replace old character pictures I got from the internet with my own generated ones, so I hope you like it! 😋
