I was the most noble princess in all of Eldoria, and yet I fell in love with Philip Kingston, my cold and untouchable Royal Tutor. For him, I stripped away every ounce of my pride. I knelt in the snow for six brutal hours, begging for the medicine that could save my life, but he stood over me with his arms wrapped around his "best friend," Evelyn Lane, and looked down at me like I was nothing. Philip's voice was ice. "Charlotte, enough with the theatrics. Evelyn needs the medicine too. You're a princess. Surely you can spare a little grace." I looked at the woman nestled in his arms, smirking as she'd already won, and the last flame inside me went out. Then came the day he knelt outside the throne room, slamming his forehead against the stone steps until blood ran down his face in streaks, begging for just one glance from me. But I strolled right past him on the arm of the realm's most decorated young commander, and I smiled like the sun breaking through storm clouds. I glanced back at him and let the words fall like a blade. "Mr. Kingston, if there is one thing I have never been short of, it is men who know how to heel."
