Dear Author, this fic was chosen by our bookclub members and recommended for this months theme “slow burn”. Below the cut you’ll find their comments on why they loved your wonderful story!

“It’s been a while since I read this, but I would happily read it in one sitting all over again. I’m a sucker for royal settings and I absolutely ADORED the dynamics of this one. It’s just the right amount of angsty and fluffy, and keeps you hooked throughout.” [@sujigguk​]

“Damn these apples! I really loved this fic out of various of reasons, the relationship between the characters are amazingly written, the setting and overall plot is so well thought out and it just has the perfect mixture between angst, fluff and comedy… i mean, just the first chapter had me laughing so much.” [@softjeon]

The position of royalty always came with a number of complications. The need to balance relations, the need to travel for events. The need for propriety- this and that. It was true that heavy is the head of those that wear a crown.  The sheer amount of responsibilities was often intimidating fo Saamuel, who still had to navigate all of those things with a certain amount of grace, if the time willed for it.

And he knew full well that Eliot was likely in a similar position. One would think that knowing the other person was dealing with the same thing would have lessened the stress of the situation. But when you’re looking at your betrothed it’s a whole another ball game. One that sent shivers down Saamuel’s spine. 

He sits and thinks for a moment, idly fiddling with his collar as if trying to relieve an inner tension.

“Well. I suppose acknowledging that we’re both nervous about this situation is a start. I, I do believe it’s not unusual for uh both parties to be nervous about such an arrangement.” Another pause, he’s legitimately trying to find the best way about this situation. “Since we’re likely to be in each other’s presence quite often...I suppose it wouldn’t harm us any to get to know each other better. I suppose that’s part of the point of the whole deal.”
