The Queen Demanded I Chase Her? Then I Let Her Go
READING AGE 12+
The night Queen Vivienne set fire to the royal summer lodge, she was trying to force my hand—not to save our marriage, but to win a hereditary title for the man she had loved before me. I found her note in the smoke: seven years together, and I still couldn't give her one thing she asked for. By morning, the papers were calling her a heartbroken wife and me a cold king. I could have chased her, apologized, and granted the title. Instead, I began asking who had been inside the lodge when the fire started. If I uncovered the truth, I might keep my crown. I might even save Vivienne. But after seven years of choosing each other in public and losing each other in private, could I still choose the woman who had made a weapon of our marriage?

I did not ask them to.
