The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

A knock at the door changed everything.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

The end.
