When the Crown Prince bows to a servant in the middle of court, the kingdom stops breathing. Y/N was never meant to stand out — just another quiet presence in the palace halls. But the future king sees her differently. Where others see rank, he sees honesty. Where others demand fear, she offers respect. As whispers spread and tradition trembles, one question lingers in every corridor: How far will a prince go for someone the crown forbids him to choose?
The shop smelled like dust and fresh paint, that strange in-between phase where a place hasn’t decided what it is yet. Cardboard boxes were stacked everywhere—labels scribbled in marker, tape half-peeled where it had been reused one too many times.

Five minutes. One antidote. A room full of future killers. When the lesson turns deadly, you and your boyfriend Marcus must decide what matters more: survival… or each other.
