I thought up a new idea for a Sampard AU—a Prince-x-Knight romance!
I dunno. I'd just been mulling the idea around for a bit. Thought I'd maybe write a blurb and see how it sat with me. Might be something I try and write. Dunno if anyone would he interested in that kind of fanfic, but I know it's something I'd like ♡
So, umm, yeah.... **runs away and hides**
With the sudden death of Belobog’s crowned prince, the throne shifts to his unlikely successor—Sampo Koski, the irreverent and reckless second son who’s spent his life far from the kingdom’s demands. Thrust into a role he never wanted, Sampo rebels against every expectation, defying the court, his family, and any notion of royal responsibility.
Desperate to temper his defiance, the king and queen call upon Gepard Landau—a seasoned war hero loyal to the crown, nearly two decades Sampo’s senior. Charged with shaping the unruly prince into a worthy leader, Gepard finds himself grappling with a task more challenging than any battlefield. And Sampo, determined to prove he’s as immovable as his convictions, spares no effort in testing the older man’s patience to its limits.
Their clashes are as fierce as they are constant, both unwilling to yield. But in the relentless tension between them, something deeper begins to flicker—an attraction neither can ignore. As Sampo tests Gepard’s control and Gepard battles with his sense of duty, a forbidden desire takes root, pulling them into a secret affair that threatens the order they both serve.
In the throes of political turmoil, duty, and desire, they walk a tightrope between loyalty and a love that defies the laws of status, rank, and honour. And with every encounter, each must question what they are truly willing to sacrifice—and for whom.
