A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne.

Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows.

Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye.

Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair?

One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

Dahlia became awfully quiet after her outburst back at the castle. Immediately she stormed off after snapping at Ivana, she entered the carriage and I led Ivana to another carriage which I requested from the castle and Nikolai and I rode on our horses deciding to give Dahlia some space. When we got back to the manor, she didn't say anything either. She still remained quiet and I honestly don't know what to say to her at this point. I could still feel the anger radiating off from her in waves and I know that when she gets like this it's best if she was left alone.


Besides, ever since she got pregnant, her emotions have become quite strong lately and in that moment I knew that it was best to leave her alone but that did not mean I still wasn't going to be keeping an eye on her.
