A Love Worth Defying by AshlynKatie8

Backstory In the kingdom of Vellador, love is a privilege for the common folk, while royalty is bound by duty. From birth, Princess Renee was destined for a political marriage-a union meant to strengthen alliances rather than hearts. Her father, King Rae, a ruler burdened by grief, arranged for her to marry Prince Xavier, a man she barely knew, in the hopes of securing peace for their kingdom. But fate had already entwined her heart with another. Renee's heart belonged to Eugene, the loyal knight who had protected her since childhood. He had always been more than just a guard-he was her closest confidant, the man who made her laugh, and the only one who saw her for who she truly was, not just as a princess. Their love was forbidden, hidden in stolen moments and whispered promises. When the time came for Renee to wed Xavier, Eugene was powerless to stop it. Forced to stand aside, he watched as the woman he loved was bound to another. But love, no matter how caged, refuses to die. Renee and Eugene's longing for one another only grew, defying duty and expectation. As tensions rose, Renee was forced to make an impossible choice-honor her crown and kingdom or fight for the love that had always been hers. Betrayal, heartbreak, and sacrifice followed, leading to a confrontation that would change the fate of Vellador forever. Would Renee find the strength to defy the destiny chosen for her? Would Eugene's love be enough to overcome the weight of the crown? In A Love Worth Defying, love is not just a fleeting emotion-it is a force strong enough to challenge kings, break chains, and rewrite destinies.
