A Crown to Bear by justahappycloud
Mature || New Chapter Every Three Weeks
In a time where kingdoms rise and fall as easily as the tides of the Mediterranean sea change course, rulers have to ensure the safety of their people, and everyone has a role to play. For Charles and Franco, the gold that sits atop their heads is not just a sign of luxury, but the responsibility that asks them to see each other on the eye and become the bridge that will bring peace to their nations. For Oscar, the steel that makes up his sword begs for the severance of his heart to protect something more important. And for Pierre, the brass that dangles from his neck reminds him of the system he must serve despite him not belonging to it. Heavy is the head that bears the crown, but heavier still is the soul that carries its burden.
