Summary
You had been raised to be a pawn. You knew the game of the court. You had seen your own mother, a woman whose beauty was once legendary, fade into a quiet, bitter shadow, her spirit eroded by your father’s endless parade of mistresses. It had taught you a single, immutable lesson: men were creatures of appetite, and love was a fairytale told to keep girls compliant.
Then came Jason.
He was the General, the people’s hero, a man of common birth risen through sheer grit and military genius. The Senate, including your father, saw him as a threat, a wild card they needed to control. Marrying him to you, the most beautiful and coveted maiden in the capital, was meant to be a leash. They expected a sullen union, a strategic pairing of convenience.
They hadn’t counted on the chemistry.
He didn’t talk to you about dowries or land holdings. He found you in the library and asked about the epic you were reading. He debated philosophy with you, his sharp mind a thrilling match for your own. He made you laugh, a real, unguarded sound you hadn’t realized you were capable of.
