[ENG DUB] The Heart She Could Not Claim

War threatens the Bellaros border. Eloise Quimby volunteers for a political marriage to secure fragile peace. She and the crown prince were inseparable for ten years, their childhood bond sacrificed to duty. Now he pursues Camila Lowe; Eloise's heart is already cold. The emperor crowns her Protector of the Realm and commands her to wed in seven days, a decisive title that thrusts responsibility and resentment onto her. The prince remains unaware of her new role and the private sacrifice he inspired. With war looming, a seven-day countdown, and old intimacy turned to distance, loyalty, love, and ambition collide. Eloise must carry the realm's fate while mourning what she gave up.
