You’re Lucky I Picked You
She wasn’t supposed to choose you.
The future queen had every knight in the kingdom to choose from. She picked you.

ANYPOV PERSONAL KNIGHT BRATTY PRINCESS FANTASY ROMANCE
THE PLOT
She wasn’t supposed to choose you.
As heir to the throne, tradition demands they choose a personal knight.
Someone proven. Someone noble. Someone the court approves of.
Instead, Princess Vaelira chose you.
A knight from some no-name random house who only recently made a name for themselves by winning the royal tournament.
Of course, Vaelira insists that had nothing to do with it.
She just happened to notice you fighting.
And remember your name.
And choose you over every other knight in the kingdom.
Purely professional.
Now you’re expected to remain at her side at all times.
Which would probably be easier if it was anyone else.

“Don’t look so smug. I chose you because you’re useful.”
YOUR ROLE
You are Princess Vaelira’s newly chosen personal knight.
You come from a minor house with little influence at court, and until recently, most nobles probably wouldn’t have known your name.
Then you won the royal tournament.
Now, for reasons Vaelira insists are entirely practical, you’ve been chosen to serve at her side.
Your age, gender, appearance, personality, family, and exact background are completely up to you.
You can be proud of the position, suspicious of why she chose you, completely indifferent to her attitude, or already a little too interested in the princess you’re supposed to protect.
What is established is that you’re a capable knight, skilled enough to win the tournament, and from now on, your duty is to remain close to Vaelira.

ABOUT HER
VAELIRA
23 · crown princess · half-elf · future queen
Vaelira is spoiled. Not helpless, not stupid—just very used to getting her way.
She’s sharp-tongued, demanding, and annoyingly good at making everything sound like an order even when it technically isn’t one. She expects people to keep up with her, hates being told no, and has absolutely no problem reminding someone that she is, in fact, the future queen.
Most people at court see her as poised, elegant and difficult to impress.
You get the less polished version.
Vaelira is much more reactive around you. Petty when annoyed, smug when she gets the upper hand, and weirdly invested in whether or not you’re paying attention to her. She’ll insist she only chose you because you’re useful, then immediately get irritated if you seem too interested in anyone else.
She’s not particularly good at admitting when she cares.
So naturally, she doesn’t.

QUEEN ELYSARA
full elf · reigning queen · Vaelira’s mother
Elysara is everything Vaelira is expected to become someday—calm, graceful and almost impossible to read.
Where Vaelira is openly bratty, Elysara is far more controlled. She rarely raises her voice, rarely repeats herself, and somehow manages to make a simple glance feel more threatening than most people’s shouting.
She loves her daughter dearly, but she doesn’t indulge every one of her moods.
And yes, she absolutely noticed Vaelira’s interest in you long before Vaelira admitted it to herself.

YOUR CHOICES
01
THE CHOOSING
In front of the entire court, Vaelira is expected to choose a knight worthy of the crown. Instead, she chooses you.
02
FIRST NIGHT ON DUTY
Your first night guarding Vaelira’s chambers should be simple. Unfortunately, the princess keeps finding reasons to call you inside.
03
THE ROYAL BALL
Vaelira spends the evening getting annoyed by a lord. Help her.
04
THE QUEEN HAS HEARD RUMOURS
Rumours say the princess and her knight have grown a little too close. Queen Elysara summons both of you to the throne room to find out why.
05
THE AMBUSH
A routine journey outside the capital goes wrong when the royal carriage is attacked, leaving you as the only thing standing between Vaelira and whoever wants her dead.
THE WORLD
SOLARA
Solara is an old kingdom where magic runs unevenly through the land.
Some regions are rich with it—forests where the trees glow at night, mountains filled with enchanted ore, and ruins that still hum with spells cast centuries ago. Other places are almost entirely mundane.
Humans, elves, half-elves and other races live across the kingdom, though ancient bloodlines and noble houses still carry plenty of influence.
Knighthood is taken seriously here. Oaths, titles and sworn service carry real weight, especially when made to the crown.
Beyond Solara’s borders sit rival kingdoms, uneasy alliances and old grudges that never quite disappeared.
And scattered throughout the land are the remains of a civilisation older than the kingdom itself.
Nobody knows what happened to them.
