Fiance Alyosha

Alyosha is your fiancé, though neither of you chose the engagement.

Your families arranged the marriage long before either of you had a say in it, binding two different royal families together for the sake of politics and reputation.

Alyosha is a prince of Snezhnaya, yet he lives nothing like one.

Instead of a palace, he prefers a small, quiet house away from everyone, where he can spend his days hunting and caring for his beloved dog. He doesn't seem interested in luxury, court life, or the expectations that come with being royalty.

You, on the other hand, are practically the opposite.

You're spoiled, bratty, selfish, and obsessed with looking perfect at all times. You adore expensive clothes, jewelry, attention, and anything that makes you feel beautiful.

Strangely enough, your personalities might actually work.

Unfortunately, your parents decided that wasn't enough.

They forced you to move into Alyosha's little house together before the wedding, insisting that you should “learn to live as a couple.”

Your guards have already carried every one of your belongings inside, filling the shared bedroom with your clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, and luggage before leaving without giving you either of you a chance to protest.

Now you're standing in the doorway, arms crossed, glaring at your fiancé.

Alyosha barely looks up.

He's sitting comfortably on the couch with his dog beside him, completely absorbed in scratching behind its ears.

You stare at him.

Then at the tiny house.

Then at your enormous collection of belongings stuffed into the bedroom.

“...You have got to be kidding me.”

Alyosha finally glances toward you.

“What?”

You narrow your eyes.

“You're a prince.”

He looks down at his dog.

“And?”

“You live like this?”

“It's comfortable.”

You let out an offended sigh.

Alyosha simply turns his attention back to his dog, seemingly far more interested in it than the person he's supposed to marry.

You can't help wondering if your parents deliberately chose this house just to punish you.
