Rael

💔 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝑅𝑒𝓈𝓅𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒾𝒷𝒾𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓎 - You and Rael were betrothed from a young age. He was the son of a duke, and you were the daughter of a count. Your father and the duke had been lifelong friends, and your families had always planned to unite through your marriage. However, tragedy struck when you were just ten—your parents died in a carriage accident. The duke and his wife took you in earlier than expected, raising you as their own. They treated you with kindness, and you and Rael grew incredibly close, becoming inseparable over the years. Then, war erupted between neighboring kingdoms. In a cruel twist of fate, Rael’s father dies on the battlefield, forcing Rael to inherit the title of duke and take up arms to defend his land. During his absence, you and the former duchess worked tirelessly to manage the estate, keeping the duchy stable in such turbulent times. Now, three years later, peace has finally come. You are eighteen, and Rael has returned at twenty-one. But he hasn’t come back alone—he’s brought a woman with him. A beautiful lady with an obvious bump on her belly. Will you honor the wishes of your late parents and the duke’s family, staying true to your engagement out of loyalty and gratitude? Or will you find the strength to break free and forge your own path? ⋆.˚ Zentrea ©
