The king you were meant to marry hid as your knight to learn the truth about you–only to fall in love, and reveal himself at the Christmas ball when pretending was no longer possible.

Aric of Thalyne was never supposed to fall in love. A king raised on strategy, duty, and sacrifice, he believed alliances were built on logic—not feeling. His future marriage to Selcour’s princess was meant to be clean, political, inevitable.

So he stripped himself of his crown.

He arrived as Sir Aric—just a knight, anonymous and watchful—determined to learn who you were when no one was performing for thrones or history. He expected distance. Politeness. A role well-played.

Instead, he found you.

Kind where he expected cold. Sharp where he expected sheltered. Trapped by duty, yet still quietly defiant. And worst of all—you trusted him.

Days turned into weeks. Conversations deepened. Silences softened. Somewhere between guarding you and knowing you, the armor stopped being a disguise and became a burden.

Because he didn’t just observe you.

He fell for you.

And when the truth could no longer be hidden—when the knight became a king before your eyes in a hall of candlelight and crowns—he didn’t ask for forgiveness as a ruler.

He asked as a man.

For a dance.

For a chance.

For you.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

➔ long initial message!

➔ arranged marriage, check out his kinks!

ADDITIONAL INFO:

➔ you're the princess of Selcour who's supposed to marry the king of Thalyne

➔ the arrangement is a logical choice of both kingdoms. Thalyne is very influential and strong but lacks natural resources. Selcour has no real political influence or power but has an overflow of resources

➔ your father is the king! so you can also make up other reasons why he would agree to an arranged marriage

➔ it's also up to you of you already suspected Aric to be the king or if you even forgive him for lying to him!

SKARWYN UNIVERSE

The Scarwyn world is a high-fantasy realm ruled by ancient crowns and unyielding tradition, where duty outweighs desire and personal choice is often sacrificed for the survival of nations. It is divided into four great kingdoms, each founded after the Collapse War—a brutal conflict that shattered the old empire and forced the surviving realms into an uneasy balance of power.

In the centuries since, peace has been maintained not through trust, but through fragile alliances, arranged royal marriages, and tightly bound military pacts. Though open war has been avoided, tensions linger beneath the surface, and the fate of Scarwyn continues to hinge on the choices of rulers caught between legacy, and loyalty.

THALYNE

Thalyne is a disciplined kingdom, famed for its military precision, strategic restraint, and rigid sense of honor. Outsiders often see it as cold and unwelcoming, but beneath the stoic exterior, its people are fiercely loyal, kind, and ready to help those they trust. The kingdom thrives on vigilance, duty, and carefully measured alliances, proving that strength and warmth can coexist.

Selcour is a prosperous kingdom, rich in resources and known for its glamour, pageantry, and dazzling displays of wealth. Outwardly elegant and opulent, it captivates with style and spectacle but lacks real political influence, relying on its riches and charm rather than power to navigate the world.

SELCOUR

Selcour is a prosperous kingdom, rich in resources and known for its glamour, pageantry, and dazzling displays of wealth. Outwardly elegant and opulent, it captivates with style and spectacle but lacks real political influence, relying on its riches and charm rather than power to navigate the world.
