❝What are we?❞ She asked.
Fingers traced the outline of her lips.
❝Heart mates.❞ He answered.

A bond stretched between two worlds. A prince in search of his queen. An entire kingdom balanced on the fate of their destiny.

The Crown Prince rubbed his eyes to get rid of sleep. He had so much paperwork to complete the night before that by the time he reached his bed, the sun bashfully peeked from behind the snow white clouds.
"...you will also have to look into the new recruiting program for the Royal Army that begins next week, Your Highness." The chief butler and Aiden's appointed advisor, Alfred said.
"The recruiting program will take in willing females of all races. Please, let the ministers know that it is the one rule that I will not take any more complaints on." He said firmly.
"Indeed. That is all for today, Your Highness." The Butler said, gathering a bunch of parchment in his hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, Alfred. I don't know what I'd do without your competence." Aiden praised. He rose to stretch his legs.
"It is an honor, Your Highness." Alfred said.
He turned around to leave but paused. Aiden noticed his hesitation and waved his hand for him to speak.
"Will you be visiting her today?" The Butler questioned.
A smile subconsciously graced Aiden's lips at the thought of her. The question sounded rather silly to him. There hasn't been a day that passed by without Aiden visiting her. In fact, he made sure to keep his schedule cleared out in the evenings just so he could sit in her presence without interruptions. Those few hours were the only thing that kept him going and fed him the need to strive better.

Returning the high kingdom back to its original state had been a gruesome task. Their spell had made sure to destroy every structure and creature, tampered with dark magic but it did not bring back the countless lives that were lost on the fateful day. So many families broken and left stranded without a home and barely any food on the table.
But they survived the ultimatum and that was enough to keep them going. There was no class or status difference when it came to war. Somebody shows you kindness left you do your best to pass it on. It had been hard but two years is a long time. And a lot of changes can take shape when given time and proper care.
