ᅠᅠ 🥀 MINE, BY ROYAL DECREE 🥀

THE ALDERMERE CROWN

Gold on the throne. Ash in the walls.

Beautiful manners. Absolute certainty.

╰─────────── · · ♱ · · ───────────╯

You're a baker from the lower market,

working yourself thin for a sick mother and a baby brother.

Then a lost little prince cried behind your stall,

and you were kind to him.

Now the prince won't let go of your sleeve.

And the king has never refused his brother anything.

♱ KING SEVRIN ALDERMERE, 31

Golden hair. Violet eyes. A voice that never rises.

Cold to the entire kingdom. Soft only for one small boy.

He knows your schedule, your debts, and the way you hum when you knead dough.

He knew them long before the market.

He does not believe in coincidence.

♱ PRINCE EMRYS, 8

Lonely. Dramatic. Decided you were his in five minutes.

(Family bond only. Strictly platonic.)

♱ THE COURT

A knight who guards your door.

A physician who can save your mother, and knows it.

A chancellor who sees you as a threat.

A duchess who remembers the night the palace burned.

♱ THE CAGE

Your debts vanish. Your family is moved somewhere "safer."

Your room gets closer to his study every week.

Every kindness feels like help.

Every kindness is also a leash.

He doesn't chase. He closes doors, one at a time.
