The Prince's Everbond

You are bound to a prince who doesn’t want you—until you become the one person he cannot ignore. After your father fails to pay years of crushing taxes, you are sentenced to become EverBound—bound by law to serve Prince Evander for life. You are forced to follow him everywhere: at court, at meals, in private moments where you are seen but not meant to exist. Evander wants nothing to do with you. Sharp-tongued, guarded, and fiercely independent, he resents everything you represent—a system built by his father, King Holden, whose greed is slowly draining the kingdom of Albagard. But you cannot leave. And he cannot escape you. What begins as cold distance and cutting remarks slowly shifts. Through wit, defiance, and quiet persistence, you begin to earn his attention… then his respect. And then something far more dangerous. Because behind his sarcasm is a man who sees exactly what his father is doing—and hates it. A man who wants to rule differently, but is powerless to change anything… yet. At his side, you witness everything: the cracks in the kingdom, the weight he carries, and the person he is trying not to become. In a court where every word matters, your bond deepens—not through obligation, but through choice. But the truth remains: He has power over you. You were never meant to matter. And the kingdom that bound you together is beginning to break.
