The answers lie within the chapters, but be warned: once you start, you might not be able to stop until the last secret is revealed. in *A Royal Obligation* somethings are not as it seems. ------------ Excerpt: Eirik's breath slowed, his heart beating a steady rhythm as he grasped the delicate fabric of his veil. He could feel the tension building in the room, thickening the air as every eye fixed upon him. Even before the veil was lifted, he was aware of the whispers circulating through the hall. Curiosity, skepticism, and a hint of malice swirled in the minds of those present, none more so than in Prince Kaelix, whose demand had set this spectacle into motion. As the veil began to slip from his fingers, Eirik's mind was a flurry of thoughts. *This isn't about me,* he reminded himself. *This is about the alliance, about Valeidio, about preventing war.* His resolve solidified, and he let the veil fall, revealing his face to the entire court. The collective gasp that followed was almost audible. Silence descended upon the hall like a heavy curtain, as if time itself had stopped. The musicians halted their playing, the dancers froze in mid-step, and the servants, previously bustling around the room, stood motionless, their eyes wide in shock. For a long moment, nobody moved. Even the ever-composed Prince Kaelix found himself momentarily speechless. ----------- Warning! THIS BOOK CONTAIN N.C SCENE!

A Shattered Promise
The sun had just started to dip below the horizon, casting a soft, golden hue over the palace gardens. It was the kind of serene beauty that would normally calm Eirik, but today it only served as a painful reminder of the turmoil inside him.
He walked slowly, his steps heavy, knowing that every step he took was bringing him closer to the moment he dreaded. Behind him, Sadiki followed in silence. The tension between them was extraordinary visible, the unspoken truth hanging over them like a storm waiting to break.
Eirik couldn't even bring himself to look at Sadiki as they reached a secluded corner of the garden, surrounded by roses and ivy. This had been their sanctuary once. A place where they could steal moments away from the prying eyes of the Zephyros palace. But today, it felt like a prison, the walls of duty closing in on Eirik from all sides.
