Prince George’s Point of view
The announcement from breakfast still echoed in my head, relentless as a hammer striking stone: “The wedding will be in two days.” My chest tightened as I sank onto the edge of my bed, staring at the ornate ceiling of my room. I wanted to protest, to rise and shout against the decree, but the memory of my uncle’s solemn warning froze me in place. And I remembered one of our encounters in his office when he said :“George… my time is short. This is my last wish. You must marry Princess Victoria.”The words of a man whose health was failing, who had held the throne while my parents were gone, pinned me into silence. I could not argue. I could not stop the wedding. I was powerless, a pawn caught in a game far beyond my control.I ran my hand through my hair, frustration and helplessness coiling in my chest. Two days. Two days to somehow reconcile everything, to protect Victoria from a life she did not yet undersPrincess Victoria’s Point of view “I never thought that after years of clawing my way out of my sister’s shadow, I would find myself fighting to escape another , this time, Sindy is inside my own marriage.” The words echoed in my chest, heavy, bitter, and almost shameful. For so long, I had lived with Grace as my rival, twin yet opposite, destined to outshine me in the eyes of courtiers, tutors and even suitors. I told myself that marrying Prince George was my triumph, my moment to finally stand where no shadow could touch me. And yet… today, I had seen it clearly in his eyes. The way he fidgeted through tea, his mind already halfway elsewhere. The way he politely smiled but rushed to stand the moment our cups were emptied. He could not wait a minute longer to leave my side. My fiancé could not wait to leave me to go talk to another woman . And I knew where he was going. Grace found

Sindy’s Point of ViewThe cabin felt smaller than usual, the quiet pressing down like a weight I could not lift. I sank onto the edge of the bed, every muscle tight, my heart hammering in time with the thought that would not leave me: the wedding was in two days. The words of the Acting King during breakfast still echoed in my mind, relentless and sharp: “Prince George and Princess Victoria will marry in two days.”Two days. That was all the time I had to prevent a mistake that could alter the kingdom forever. My chest tightened, each breath shallow as the thought gnawed at me. I had failed once, and now the consequences were unfolding in plain sight. My failure to protect Princess Victoria, to stop her from walking into a destiny I knew would mirror the tragedies of Prince George’s mother, weighed on me like heavy chains.I pressed my face into my hands. She deserved better. She deserved a life where love and trust were not jeopardized by secrets s
Prince George’s Point of ViewCold dew clung to my skin, soaking through the fabric of my already torn shirt. I awoke lying against the stone of my parents’ grave, the air damp with morning mist. For a long moment, I could not move because of shame, exhaustion, and the acrid tang of blood which kept me pinned where I was.The metallic scent of it hung thick in the air, the stench mixed with earth and the faint fragrance of lilies left by grieving subjects. I lifted a trembling hand to my mouth, and the sticky smear that met my fingers confirmed what I already feared. My body had betrayed me again.Hunger. Always hunger and thirst .I had left my chambers last night with one purpose to retrace the steps of where Sindy had been found, to follow the trail of her scent, the memory of her presence, and perhaps find some answer that the guards overlooked. But my cravings had sharpened with each step into the night. My vision had blurred, the pounding of heartbeats in the castle grounds had
SINDY Point of ViewDarkness pressed in from every side, broken only by the faint glow of a single lantern swinging from the ceiling. My side ached sharply beneath the bandages, each movement sending a jolt of pain through my ribs. I forced my eyes open, straining to see anything beyond the shadows. The pain from earlier was now worse.A voice cut through the silence, smooth, deliberate, and filled with a strange authority.“You’re awake,” it said.I froze. Fear prickled along my spine, instinct screaming that this was not just another guard or servant. Slowly, I turned my head toward the sound.A tall figure emerged from the corner, cloaked in shadow. His face was sharp, commanding, impossible to ignore. Recognition struck me like a blade: Prince George’s uncle. The man who held the throne in his hands while George’s parents were gone. The acting King himself.“You…” I croaked, trying to sit up. “You… why am I here?”He stepped closer, eyes calm but unyielding. “You were in danger,
Prince George’s Point of view The corridors of the palace blurred into streaks of shadow and torchlight as Victoria and I raced toward the courtyard. The guard’s words still rang in my ears—Sindy… hurt. My chest was tight, lungs burning, but the urgency in my legs did not falter. She had to be alive. She had to be. I need her alive . For the first time in weeks, I had felt like I was not alone in this fight. When Victoria had that Sindy was hurt she stood by me . She had not hesitated, had not asked what was in it for her. She simply said, Let’s go, and now we are on our way to together to see Sindy .Her skirt swept the floor as she ran beside me, the flicker of the wall sconces catching in her hair. Neither of us spoke; there was no need. We both knew the stakes.But just as we reached the last turn before the courtyard, a tall, broad shadow slid into our path.“Uncle,” I hissed, coming to an abrupt stop.The Acting King stood like an unmovable pillar, hands clasped behind his b
