My name is Daman Luster, am a physician's daughter.
My dad has worked for the king of Atheman for more than 20 years.
In our lovely kingdom, every person is just the same as the other .
That is what make it different from the other kingdoms.
Our kingdom has two prince,Vinvac, he is the second prince .
He is of no good to the kingdom, his most priority is to chase after women .
Am so close to him, he is my childhood friend, we share a lot of memories together but we don't share the same ideas.
It's my job to serve his highness, Vinvac until my death.
And lastly,my secret crush, prince Arin .
I wake up early in the morning to see him joking in the palace compound.
I must admit, his body is more attractive when it is sweat .
He might only not be my crush alone but every girl's dream inside Atheman.
He is not only brave but handsome as well but not as charming as my damn childhood friend.
The entire kingdom believe that prince Ryan is the most suitable one to succeed the throne.

Oh my !
Am f*cked up, Vinvac is almost awake.
" Gosh!
Where the heck is this good for nothing girl?", Vinvac says as he lifts himself from the bed.
" Am feeling a lot of headache..." , he adds.
" Your highness, you're awake...?", Daman asks as she gives him a funny look.
_____
" Why are you looking at me like that...?, I have a headache get me some whiskey."
Daman walks closer to Vinvac and sit next to him.
" Seriously ,damn friend...?
See the condition you're in ...
Can I tell you a damn secret...?", Daman asks in a playful voice.
"Yesterday you almost kissed your garden...." , she added.
Vinvac flipped, his expression change to curiousity and disguise.
His mind try so hard to remember.
" You're lying,you're lying to your dear friend,huh?" , he says as he tickles her.
" Okay..., okay...
Am lying.", she replies while laughing .
Vanvic cannot stop to tickle her, her laughs grow more wide.
' This is how me and my dear friend,prince Vinvac are.
Despite people in the kingdom see nothing in him.
For me ,I see my happiness in him, this started 15 years ago.
I was just need in Atheman, a little and naive girl .
Except my dear father, Mr Dyan Luster, no one could stand for me.
It was not until that day, it was raining .
I was on my way back home when I found a baby tiger.
Within the time, my faith has shattered.
Until he came in and scared the baby tiger away from me.
Actually ,I don't believe in people's whispers .
He is not good for nothing because he has the braveness that no one have never witnessed .
That is my secret.'
The king's right hand man delivered the message to prince Vinvac's chambers.
He slightly bowed .
" Your highness ,the king summons you inthe ' Damula'( Throne room).
Prince Vinvac passed from the king's right hand man and abruptly rushed to the ' Damula'.
His brother ,prince Arin had already settled at his usual spot .
The king standing tall, facing his throne.
All the ministers settled but tensed.
Intrigue is brewing.... The king's voice boomed
" My people,our kingdom is at risk.
A neighbouring realm threats a war...unless one of my prince marries their princes.
The famous ice- hearted Malika...", the king said.
Prince Vinvac stepped a bit behind ,his heart tensed.
He is not prepared for this, in his life,marriage is never a top priority .
Besides that, Malika is more of a witch than a princess, no man would ever want to even crush on her.
Despite her cute beautiful face, much as beautiful like a little kitty.
Her heart is cold as a freezed cube....

" Seriously,dad...!
I can't get married to that f*cked bitch, am not ready for marriage..." , Vinvac said.
The king's expression turned stern.
" Vinvac ,this is not a request, you'll marry her.
And you'll win her heart to protect the peace in this kingdom ...." , king Vikram said.
Prince Arin smirked...
" Besides ,brother, you're almost 25. It's time to settle down...."
" Do you think you can change my mind just because people here take you as their next leader...?
Well am not like them and yes, am good for nothing just like your people say.", prince Vinvac said with an angry tone.
" And today, this good for nothing is the one you want to save you...
Am not protecting your damn kingdom, never." , he added.
King Vikram raised his hand to hit him,but his hand floated in the air, the room fell silent.
Vinvac's eyes blazed.
" What happened...?
Go on,hit me ...
That's what you're good at, you don't care about anything but your kingdom.
You sacrificed my mother for this dawn kingdom and today ,you're sacrifing me as well."
Earlier in Atheman.
Back in Atheman, there was a lovely princess .
Her name was Valeria , she was bright like the new moon,glowing like the raising stars.
Her looks were charming ,every man in Atheman would want to date her.
She lived in the palace all day and night.
Not until she found her soulmate, prince Vikram.
Their love blossomed every night and day...
The two got married , them getting married was a whisper in everyone's ears.
All the people in Atheman and outside believed that she will be the queen of Atheman.
But this stayed as rumours, instead Leila ,the daughter of general Dankan became the queen .
Despite her being queen,the king never had feelings for her, she was never loved.
Out of jealous ,the queen and her father rebelled the kingdom.
In order to save the kingdom from the chaos, princess Valeria's life had to be given to the general and the queen.
However much it was difficult for the king , it was a necessity.
Present in Atheman.
Atheman, a peaceful is now under tension,all the subjects are wondering to what will happen to them. Their tongues can't stop cursing Vinvac for their soon destruction.
Back to the king's quarters,the king and his ministers are out of solutions .
" Dad you're giving Vinvac alot of freedom,you have to force him into this...." , Arin says.
All the ministers agreeing with him.
The truth is ,the king is not ready to lose his son to the cold Malika .
He is not to let go of the only piece let by his live .
But on the other side,he is not willing to let his people suffer because of his own desires .
What will the king do in this critical suitation ?
Will he give the only piece of his memory left by his live?
Or will he sacrifice it to save his kingdom ?
