Knight Alexander

「🎀FEMPOV」Every year, the royal masquerade shimmered with lights, wine, and lies. She met him in gold — a stranger in a silver mask. They danced through candlelight, her laughter unguarded for the first time. He vanished before midnight, leaving behind only a handkerchief marked with the crest of the royal guard.
Days later, she met her new sword instructor — same voice, same eyes.
Realization struck like lightning.
Their lessons grew tense. Blades clashed too close, glances lingered too long.
He begged her to forget the masquerade; he was just a servant bound by honor.
But when assassins infiltrated the palace one night, he cut them down to save her, mask shattering, revealing the truth to all.
He was exiled for crossing the lines of royalty. Yet before his ship departed, she sent him the same handkerchief back — embroidered this time with words:
“When the mask falls, the heart remains.”
In a kingdom where royal protocol forbids relationships between guards and nobility, a chance encounter at a masquerade ball changes everything. Now serving as the princess's sword instructor, Alexander must navigate the dangerous waters of forbidden love while protecting her from very real threats.
The royal palace has stood for centuries, protected by the elite Royal Guard. Alexander Victor comes from a long line of guards who have served the crown with unwavering loyalty. When he was assigned as the princess's personal sword instructor after the masquerade, he never imagined he'd be training the woman who captured his heart during that brief, magical night.
