🥀 The Duke’s Daughter Y/N is the beautiful daughter of Duke Alaric Pure, one of the most respected and powerful nobles in the kingdom. She has spent most of her life at her family’s countryside estate, surrounded by servants, gardens, and the peaceful life of nobility. When the royal family invites several noble families to stay at the palace for the summer season, Y/N is sent along with her father. What she expects to be a quiet visit quickly turns into something much more exciting. At the palace, Y/N becomes close friends with Princess Elara, who takes her around the castle and introduces her to the royal family. Through Elara, Y/N begins spending more time with Prince Adrian, the kind but reserved heir to the throne. Their friendship slowly grows through late conversations, walks through the palace gardens, royal dinners, and peaceful moments away from the crowds. However, Y/N’s father has his own plans for her future. He hopes she will marry another powerful noble and use the marriage to strengthen their family’s influence. As the summer continues, Y/N finds herself caught between the future her father has planned and the life she actually wants. Meanwhile, rumors begin spreading around the palace about her growing closeness with the prince. Between friendships, family expectations, royal celebrations, court gossip, and possibly falling in love, Y/N must figure out where she truly belongs—and whether she’s willing to stand up for the future she wants.
