Back in her chambers, Rose's heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and determination. As she carefully penned her marriage proposal letter, Tina watched curiously, unable to contain her curiosity. "Milady, what is it that you're writing?"
Rose smiled softly, her eyes focused on the parchment. "I'm writing a letter to the man I love, Tina. A proposal of marriage, in hopes that he will stand by my side."
Tina's eyes widened with surprise, a mixture of excitement and concern dancing in her gaze. "You're taking quite the bold step, milady. But I can see the determination in your eyes."
As the words flowed from Rose's pen, memories of her past life's hardships and her favorite romance novels intertwined. She thought of the second male lead, whose heart had been shattered when the female lead married another. In this world of intricate politics and alliances, Rose was determined to reshape his destiny and ensure his happiness.
With a final flourish, Rose finished her letter and folded it delicately. "Tina, please take this letter to Sebastian immediately. It's of utmost importance."
Tina nodded and hurriedly left the room, leaving Rose to contemplate the path she had chosen. The story she had once read was now being rewritten by her own hand, and she was both excited and anxious to see the outcome.
In this world of Flatenia and Rolazotte, two kingdoms with distinct landscapes and cultures, the stakes were high. Flatenia, nestled in the south, was known for its opulence and grandeur, while Rolazotte in the north was marked by its rugged terrain and formidable forts.
In the grand estate of Rontenia, at the northernmost end of Rolazotte, Duke Karl Reinhard Heydrich Rontenia sat in his working room. His ebony hair and dark eyes exuded an air of mystery, and his features were carved with cold elegance. He meticulously reviewed the paperwork spread before him, every decision calculated to uphold his family's legacy.
A knock echoed through the room, and Calos, Karl's adjutant with light brown hair, entered with a smile, holding a sealed letter. "My lord, a letter has arrived for you."
Karl raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to the letter. "From whom?"
Calos handed him the letter, a knowing glint in his eyes. "It's from the Lezette Mortena family of Flatenia, my lord."
Karl's expression remained impassive as he broke the seal and read the contents. His eyes flickered with a mix of surprise and intrigue as he absorbed the words written by the woman who had captured his attention.
As Karl and Calos exchanged a conversation about the letter's significance, the threads of fate began to weave, connecting two souls from different worlds. The echoes of a love that defied expectations resonated within the walls of Rontenia, setting the stage for a story that would alter the destinies of not only Rose and Karl but the very fabric of the kingdoms themselves.
