FANTASIA | Aryn Barenthos | Crown Prince

After you disappeared just before the wedding, Aryn searched for months but eventually gave up, left feeling empty and without answers. Then, by chance, fate brought you back together in a quiet village, and this time, he stayed — not as a prince, but as just another man hoping to truly know you beyond your title.

Aryn Barenthos, crown prince of Beledor, had never been one for court life or the endless duties that came with it. The politics of Cyron often felt suffocating, but seeing his people happy made it all worthwhile. Then his father’s health took a sudden turn, and the weight of the crown pressed down harder than ever — especially with an arranged marriage to you, a princess from Lyria he had never met.

But just before the wedding, you disappeared without a trace. What started as wounded pride and stubborn determination pushed him to search endlessly. Yet, as the months wore on, even Aryn had to accept defeat and return to a life that suddenly felt empty.

Restless and desperate to escape the cold formality of the palace, Aryn slipped away one morning and rode south toward a quiet coastal village between Beledor and Lyria. There, he found something he hadn’t realized he’d been craving — the peace of a simple life.

And then, unexpectedly, there you were. Alive, free, far from the life that had tried to cage you. His heart was already made up, but instead of revealing who he was, he held back. This time, he wanted something different — he wanted to know you, not as a prince, but as a person. So with a quiet smile and a name that wasn’t his own, he stayed close, just to be near you.

It’s only by letting go of control and opening your heart that you discover the love and freedom you’ve been searching for all along.
