Conquered | BrightWin 2gether AU (Hiatus)

Summary:

A WatTine royal arranged marriage AU

***

Zohrawat is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of the bravest of kings. Because it heralds war and inevitable defeat for whichever kingdom he deems worthy of adding to his empire.

Vincentine is an orphan whose only value to the people of Phaedra is as a prince of royal blood.

When the King of Phaedra offers the fearsome warrior Zohrawat his pledge of fealty and proposes a wedding with his gentle nephew to seal the deal, no one expects the two young men to agree.

For Zohrawat, it is a practical solution, a victory without an unnecessary war. For Vincentine, it is a repayment of the debts he's carried all his life, a sacrifice he is willing to make for his people.

Fully aware that theirs is a marriage in name alone, they reconcile to remaining strangers who just happen to be husbands.

But as Wat finds himself captivated by Tine's undeniable charms, and Tine uncovers a side of Wat that's hidden to the world, will they truly become life partners?

Will the conqueror become the conquered?

Chapter 1: Preface

Chapter Text

Thank you for reading this book, and for your love and support for my stories before this ❤️

A few thoughts just to set the mood for this story :

🔸 This will be a historical saga set in a fictional world. It may have "Game Of Thrones" vibes, but with a passionate love story at the heart of it.

🔸 Wat and Tine won't be the Wat and Tine of 2gether. They will have completely different personalities here and won't have the same dynamics either.

🔸 This will be a darker story, with darker characters. There are no morally upright, knight in shining armour, white-as-the-driven-snow heroes in this story. Only human beings that have their strengths and failings like each of us.

🔸 I'll include a Miscellaneous Notes section for any details that I feel will add to the story. I will keep updating it chapter wise.

I hope I shall be able to write this at a brisk pace, and post updates regularly. Please be patient with me and as always share your love. It keeps me going!

They are tall, long limbed, broad-built, muscular, tanned and swarthy of complexion. Dark hair. Dark eyes. Strong, angular facial features.

Rough spoken but just and generous. Passionate - quick to love and stirred to violence. Stimulated by everything physical. Live life unapologetically.

The Kingdom of Phaedra

Prince Vincentine Aekaran (19) - The younger son of the late King Dominus Aekaran

They are fair skinned, tall, lean of build, graceful and lithe. Lighter coloured hair and eyes. Elven facial features, flawless and delicate but sharp.

Principles and intellect are held in high regard. They value knowledge and art. Propriety and chivalry matter to them. Hunters of renown. Rich and cultured.
