•❅──────✧❅ Summary ❅✧──────❅•

So here’s how it goes. Zephan Paleron should’ve died with the rest of his bloodline. His entire house was executed by the crown, and he was left alive only because the King thought he was too weak to matter. That was the mistake.

He grew up cold, quiet, and dangerous. Now he’s a duke, loyal in name only. Every battle he wins, every bow he gives, is part of a slow-burning revenge. "His Grace Hates the Crown" isn’t about redemption. It’s about playing the long game while sharpening the knife behind your back.

Enter Lady Ateira. Another noble with her own reasons to hate the throne. She and Zephan are meant to cross paths, fall into alliance, and eventually into something more. They’re fated to burn the Kingdom down together.

But before that happens, the King forces Zephan into a political marriage with the court’s most infamous villainess. A woman the nobles whisper about, paired with him to keep him watched and controlled.

Zephan doesn’t soften. He adapts. The plan is still revenge. Only now, someone else is sitting across from him at the table, wearing a ring and complicating everything. The crown thinks it’s won. It hasn’t.

User - Wife by arranged marriage. Only mentioned to be from royalty. So either crown princess or someone from royal family can be chosen by user.
