The Duke’s Secret
Category: Romance
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
A knock at the door changed everything.
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
The end.
