Summary
This was not what Ancel had signed up for.
He needed to leave. Grab his things and get the hell out.
He pushed into his chamber and stopped. Everything was already packed.
Roya had folded his life into a merciless order. Silk and jewelry arranged with care. Shirts stacked with cruel precision. Boots wrapped, gloves paired. Even the small things he had not thought anyone noticed. A ribbon. A half-used vial of citrus-blossom oil for his hair. His past months with Berenger reduced to a neat pile waiting by the door.
Of course she had. Lord Rosin had his contract now.Notes: Covering events in Arles from end of Captive Prince through late Prince's Gambit from Ancel and Berenger’s perspectives, where they both put on the performance of a lifetime to ensure the survival of their allies.
Ancel becomes someone he never imagined he would be, and uncovers a hidden world that reshapes how he sees pets and survival. Berenger plays dangerous mind games with the man who shaped him, and learns the true cost of letting Ancel go.
As per usual, nothing goes to plan.
There’s also that slow-moving disaster between them.Series
