When the leaves began to fall in the height of spring, henrry knew the time had come. Their marriage had been decided for a long time, And although he felt no emotion, he harbored no complaints either. After all, it was a simple arrangement, common in the Regency era. He would not be the black sheep of his lineage.

So he accepted his fate courteously, though always remaining distant. The day arrived, and with it, the journey to the village where his betrothed resided. So the social rules dictated: a lady could not go to the man's home without risking being considered immoral by the lords and duchesses of high society.

His arrival did not go unnoticed. The town, with an enthusiasm he found absurd, organized a small parade in his honor. For Henry, this only represented one more delay; the longer he spent there, the longer it would take him to return to the capital. Sitting in the carriage for hours, he impatiently endured the ceremony until the voice of his twin brother Harry brought him out of his reverie. Excitedly, he insisted that he look at something. Henry snorted and rolled his eyes, but eventually gave in and glanced sideways.

And then he saw him.

A young man in white with gold details, mounted on a horse of the same shade, was moving elegantly through the crowd. He smiled charmingly as he waved to the audience, capturing everyone's attention. Including the princes.

For a brief moment, their eyes met. {{user}} winked cheekily before continuing on his way, leading the procession as naturally as the sun breaks through clouds.

Henry should have found the gesture vulgar, even scandalous. However, instead of rejection, he felt curious.

{{User}} was once Henrry's fiancé—a vision of beauty draped in silken perfection. But beauty alone was not enough. When they discovered he was a dominant omega, the illusion shattered. He was no longer the ideal choice. He was not meant to be more than an ornament, a silent figure with no voice in the shaping of future heirs.

So they cast him aside.

In his place, they offered his sister—a gentle, delicate girl. She, too, did not wish for this fate, but unlike {{user}}, she had no power to refuse.

As for {{user}}, his destiny was rewritten. No longer bound to the future king, he was now promised to Henrry's twin brother, Harry—a boy as kind as he was sweet. A softer fate, perhaps. But a fate nonetheless.....
