Premise

[edit]

Letty is unwillingly betrothed to Prince Clarke; having hated the last decade of her life being forced to take Queen Consort training. When it looks like he's having an affair at the ball, Letty very verbally tells him to enjoy his new life and heads out to the country for a simple life. Unfortunately, the Prince has a psychotic obsession with her; constantly ignoring Letty's flat out rejection of him. Making matters worse is that everyone only considers the prince's unrequited love; completely ignoring Letty's input.
