Are We Meant to Be
Benjamin Frederick, with his striking shorts golden hair and captivating green eyes, had always been the bane of Lily White's existence. As former classmates at the prestigious Knight and Wizards Academy, they were constantly at odds, their rivalry fueling their excellence in sword fighting and martial arts.
Lily, with her long black hair and piercing light blue eyes, had always despised Benjamin's charming smile and effortless charm. She vowed never to speak to him again after graduation, and for two years, they went their separate ways.
Lily, now a skilled swordswoman and martial artist, had been groomed to become the perfect wife, learning etiquette and proper education. She never knew the meaning of love, always obeying her parents' wishes.
But fate had other plans.
The King of the North, Lily's father, and the King of the South Empire decided to unite their kingdoms, arranging an engagement between Lily and Benjamin, now the Prince of the South.
The engagement party, attended by both kingdoms, was a grand affair. Benjamin's eyes locked onto Lily's, and for a moment, they forgot their past animosity. The air was electric with tension as they exchanged vows, their hearts heavy with the weight of duty.
As they danced, Benjamin's hand on Lily's waist sent shivers down her spine. For the first time, she felt a spark of attraction towards her former rival.
But their love was forbidden, their kingdoms' union built on political convenience rather than true affection. They were expected to marry, but their hearts belonged to themselves.
As they navigated the complexities of their engagement, secrets and mysteries threatened to tear them apart. Could they find a way to be together, or would their duty to their kingdoms destroy their chance at true love?
In this tale of forbidden love, Benjamin and Lily must confront their past, their hearts, and the secrets that bind them. Will they find a way to be together, or will their love remain forever forbidden?
As the days passed, Benjamin and Lily found themselves growing closer, their initial animosity turning into a tentative friendship. They would steal glances at each other during meetings and ceremonies, their eyes locking in a way that made their hearts skip a beat.
But their love was still forbidden, and they knew it. They were from different kingdoms, and their union was meant to secure peace, not passion.
One night, as they walked in the gardens, Benjamin turned to Lily and asked, "Do you ever wonder what it would be like if we weren't bound by duty?"
Lily's heart raced as she met his gaze. "I try not to think about it," she whispered.
Benjamin's eyes burned with intensity. "I can't help but think about it," he said, his voice low. "I want to know what it would be like to love you freely."
Lily's breath caught in her throat. No one had ever spoken to her like that before.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. "You shouldn't be talking like that," a voice growled.
Benjamin and Lily turned to face the intruder, their hearts pounding in unison.
It was Alexander, Benjamin's brother, his eyes blazing with anger.
"You're engaged to be married," Alexander spat. "You can't just forget about your duties."
Benjamin stood tall, his eyes never leaving Lily's face. "I know my duties," he said. "But I also know my heart."
Lily's heart skipped a beat as she realized the truth. Benjamin was willing to risk everything for her.
But was she willing to do the same?
