Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin
Father and Mother hover nearby, proud as though they’ve just set me on a throne.
“Citizens of Aerithia and honoured guests,” Father says when the music dips, “we present our daughter, Princess Christie Halrion, the youngest ever member of the Aerithian Parliament.”

Prince Ron attaches himself to my side almost immediately. “You’re the star of the night,” he says, offering me champagne. “I’m merely here to make sure you don’t get kidnapped by any of these foreign dignitaries.”
