Now, she had to find the balance between the life she dreamt of and the life that she was meant to have.

However, the kingdom faced a new dilemma where he was asked to serve his people and sit on the throne. Separated after their one night of wild adventure. They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time. Would their agreement fulfill their dreams, or would it end in a disastrous union?

Show of affection
Back in the ballroom, the remaining guests were leaving, including the newly engaged couple. Remaining in the hallway were the organizers and the staff, cleaning and packing up the place.
Alex guided Dani to their waiting car, both tired but ecstatic of the success of the night. He pulled her close to him, wanting to give her comfort by placing her in his embrace.
"I still don't get it. Why did you feel the need to propose?" She finally voiced out after a very long silence inside the car.
She stared at the beautiful ring in her hand. For him to give her something that belonged to his Nanna was an honor. She knew how much he loved and respected his Nanna's wishes.
The ring could only symbolize his eternal love for her. She suddenly felt a slight pressure from the way things were moving. She believed it would have been better if they had talked about marriage first.
