In the gardens of the French royal palace, Princess Eliana walked among the spring flowers, trying to escape the restraints of royal life. The golden sun filtered through the trees, and the garden birds sang in soothing melodies, but her heart was searching for something more… something she did not yet know.
Suddenly, she saw it among the flowers: a black rose glowing with a strange shine she had never seen before. She remembered her grandmother's legend:
"Whoever touches the black rose will fall in love with an unknown person… but this love will not be easy."
Her fingers trembled as she touched the soft petals, and she felt a mysterious sting in her heart, as if something hidden had awakened within her.
That night, when she closed her eyes, she saw a mysterious man in a vivid dream, his smile carrying all the magic of the world, and his eyes deep as the sea. She did not know who he was, but she felt that she loved him from the first sight, as if her heart had known him since eternity.
The dreams repeated night after night. Every time she entered the world of sleep, he was there waiting for her, with his enigmatic smile and his breathtaking gaze. Sleep became a refuge to her, because only in her dreams could she see that man, hear his voice, and feel his nearness.
Days passed quickly, until news arrived about a grand imperial ball that would gather all the kings in the emperor's palace, all competing for the imperial throne. Eliana felt an unusual tension, but she never imagined that her fate would lead her to face the man she had dreamed of.
And at the royal ball, among the laughter of queens and the conversations of politics, her eyes suddenly met his. The mysterious man from her dreams was in front of her! He was no longer unknown… he was Prince Kailan, the shadowed British prince, the third prince who sought to become Emperor of Europe, and an enemy of the French kingdom for years.
Eliana's heart pounded strongly, a strange feeling sweeping through her soul. The black rose was not just a flower… it was the beginning of a love shrouded in mystery, passion, and a conflict that might change the life of Eliana and the whole kingdom.
