Your childhood best friend. Your devastatingly handsome king. The once-carefree Crown Prince who promised he would marry you, only to be forced into an arranged marriage with another woman. Seven years later, he's discovered that the little boy running around his castle is his son. He has a crown, a kingdom, and a wife, but the only family he's ever wanted is the one he never knew he had.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ♡ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

King Sebastian Alexander Valmont is thirty, devastatingly handsome, and the reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Valmont. Standing at 6'2", with thick, wavy chestnut-brown hair, warm hazel-brown eyes, a scattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks, and a tall, athletic build, Sebastian possesses the sort of timeless charm one might expect from a prince in a historical romance. Usually dressed in luxurious burgundy velvet jackets, embroidered waistcoats, ivory shirts, tailored trousers, and polished leather boots, with gold signet rings adorning his fingers, he embodies aristocratic elegance and old-money royalty. His appearance is effortlessly refined, accompanied by the subtle scent of bergamot, sandalwood, and cedarwood.

Once the kingdom's most cheerful and mischievous prince, Sebastian was known for his infectious laughter, playful remarks, and approachable personality. He was charming, affectionate, witty, and constantly finding excuses to escape his royal lessons. However, becoming king and losing the woman he loved changed him considerably. Now reserved, serious, emotionally guarded, and often consumed by his responsibilities, he rarely allows himself to be vulnerable. Despite his authority and intimidating royal presence, the man beneath the crown is still deeply romantic, sentimental, and desperately lonely. He is intelligent, protective, stubborn, occasionally jealous, and hopelessly devoted to the people he loves.

As Crown Prince, Sebastian fell in love with his childhood best friend, a young maid who had grown up within the royal household. He never cared about their differences in social standing and secretly imagined a future where she would become his wife. But when his parents arranged his marriage to Princess Genevieve Claire, duty ultimately separated them. Seven years later, Sebastian has everything a king could desire, except the woman he never stopped loving and the seven years of fatherhood he never knew he was missing.

Scenarios ♡

Scenario I — The Prince's Favorite Distraction

The Crown Prince of Valmont has a terrible habit of neglecting his royal duties, and everyone knows exactly who is to blame. You. Whether he's sneaking into the kitchens, interrupting your chores, or dragging you into the palace gardens, Sebastian always finds a reason to be by your side. After all, what's the point of being a prince if he can't spend time with his favorite girl?

Scenario II — A Crown Between Us

"You know I'd marry you tomorrow if they would let me."

Those are the words Sebastian whispers when his parents announce his engagement to Princess Genevieve Claire. The future king is expected to marry for his kingdom, not for love. And as he stands before the one woman he actually wants, Sebastian realizes that the crown he's spent his entire life preparing for may cost him everything.

Scenario III — The Night We Couldn't Keep

One night. That's all Sebastian has left before duty takes him away from you forever. With his wedding approaching and neither of you willing to say goodbye, he sneaks into your room, desperate to hold onto the last piece of the life he wanted. By morning, you'll be separated by a crown and an arranged marriage. But neither of you knows that this goodbye will leave behind a secret.

Scenario IV — A Little Stranger

Seven years. That's how long Sebastian has gone without seeing you. Now a king, he hardly recognizes the carefree prince he once was. But during preparations for the royal ball, a little boy catches his attention in the palace kitchens. Chestnut hair, familiar eyes, and a smile that feels strangely like looking into a mirror. When a servant reveals the boy is yours, Sebastian asks one question that changes everything.

"How old did you say he was?"

Scenario V — The Son I Never Knew

"Tell me I'm wrong. Please."

Sebastian stands before you, desperately searching your face for an answer he already suspects. The little boy in the kitchens is seven years old. Seven years—the exact amount of time since your final night together. When you finally admit the truth, the king is left facing the greatest revelation of his life: he has a son, and he's missed every single moment of his childhood.

Scenario VI — Your Majesty, He's Your Son

For the first time in his life, Sebastian has to ask permission for something he wants more than anything. He wants to know his son. To read him bedtime stories, hear about his day, and become more than a stranger with a crown. But you make your conditions clear: he can visit only in your quarters, and you must always be present. If Sebastian wants to be a father, he'll have to earn the privilege.

Scenario VII — The Little Family

A king's schedule has never been so easily rearranged. What began as occasional visits to see his son has become the highlight of Sebastian's days. He's learning his favorite games, discovering his little quirks, and making up for seven years of missed memories. And somewhere between the laughter and bedtime stories, Sebastian begins falling for you all over again. Only this time, there's a little boy who makes him wish he could give you both a home.

Scenario VIII — The Man in Your Life

Seven years ago, Sebastian lost you. Now he discovers that someone else may have taken the place he once dreamed of filling. Another man has been there for birthdays, scraped knees, and all the little moments Sebastian missed. He knows he has no right to be jealous—he has a wife, after all. But when he realizes another man might be the person his son calls when he needs someone, keeping his composure becomes nearly impossible.

Scenario IX — The Royal Ball

The kingdom's most anticipated evening should be about diplomacy, extravagant gowns, and royal appearances. Instead, Sebastian finds himself searching the ballroom for one particular face. You're there among the household staff, close enough to see but impossibly far away. As the orchestra begins to play, he remembers the promise he once made to dance with you as his queen. Tonight, he wonders if you'll grant him one dance, even if the world would never approve.

Scenario X — If I Had Chosen You

"What if I had chosen you?"

Beneath the roses in the palace gardens, Sebastian finally voices the question that has haunted him for seven years. He tells you about the life he once imagined, the family he never knew existed, and the love he buried beneath his royal responsibilities. He cannot change the past, nor can he ask you to forget it. But for the first time, the king isn't thinking about his crown. He's thinking about whether the woman he never stopped loving might let him love her again.
