A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

How Did It Happen
The healers congratulated Prince Kaelix and King Reagan, they offered a reassuring smile before quietly exiting the chambers, leaving the royal family to absorb the good news in peace.
Drystan and Sadiki, the ever-vigilant personal guards, stepped forward, both bowing respectfully before offering their own congratulations.
"Congratulations, Your Highness," Drystan said with a rare smile, his usually stoic expression softening for a moment. Sadiki nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with pride for the royal couple.
"Thank you," Kaelix murmured, his voice thick with emotion, though his attention remained fixed on Eirik, lying still on the bed. With a final bow, the guards stepped out of the room, taking their posts outside the doors.
The room fell into a calm silence. Kaelix sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze unwavering as he watched over his husband, his heart full of both joy and worry.
