The Secret Of My Royal Prince
Some secrets are buried behind crowns. Others beat within the human heart.
As King Alistair Evercrest succumbs to a mysterious illness, the weight of the crown falls upon his son, Prince Kelvin Aragon Evercrest. Pressured to marry his betrothed, Lady Elaine Rosamund Valcourt, Kelvin is expected to secure the future of the kingdom before time runs out. Then a young servant changes everything.
Jeremy Rowan Mercer, the son of a man who gave his life serving the royal family, arrives at Evercrest Castle as an ordinary housekeeper. Hardworking, and quietly hopeful, Jeremy never thought that a single act of courage will pull him into the prince’s world or a dangerous web of secrets woven for decades.
As friendship blossoms into a forbidden love, whispers spread through the royal court. But love is the least of Aragon’s troubles. Hidden behind smiles, Lord Cedric Ravaryn patiently executes a revenge decades in the making. Assassination attempts, falsified records, and carefully orchestrated scandals tears the kingdom apart from within.
With the kingdom on the brink of civil war, buried secrets finally come to light. Betrayals are exposed, ancient wounds reopen, and the true architect of the kingdom’s suffering is forced into the light. As the old order begins to collapse, Prince Kelvin faces the same impossible choice that once destroyed his father’s generation:
Surrender his heart for the sake of tradition, or defy history and build a different future.
In a world where crowns demand sacrifice and a love is considered the greatest scandal of all, one servant and one prince must decide whether breaking the rules of the past is worth risking the future of an entire kingdom. Because kingdoms can survive war. Crowns can survive betrayal. But some secrets have the power to change the world forever.

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Ignite Its Fuse Like DynamiteNight fell heavily over Evercrest Castle. The hunt ended early. Rumours spread even faster than the royal procession returned. An unfortunate riding accident, the court officially declared. Few seemed entirely convinced.Jeremy sat carefully upon the edge of a narrow bed inside the servants' quarters while Martha fussed angrily over his injuries."You could've broken your neck.""I didn't.""Wonderful. Shall we celebrate your survival by throwing you from another cliff tomorrow?"Jeremy winced as she tightened a bandage.Across the room, Oliver looked horrified enough for everyone. "You saved the prince."Jeremy groaned softly. "Please stop saying it like that.""But you did.""And now the entire castle knows." That was the problem.Long after Martha and Oliver finally left, Jeremy remained awake. Moonlight spilled faintly across the room. His shoulder throbbed relentlessly. Sleep felt impossible. Then came a soft knock at the door.Jeremy frowned. "At this hour?"Slowly, he crossed t

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Pain Right On The ShoulderThe kingdom of Aragon glittered with the autumn sunlight. Golden fields stretched beyond the palace roads while banners bearing noble crests fluttered proudly in the wind.The royal procession wound through the countryside in dazzling splendour – mounted knights, noble families, decorated carriages, and royal guards moving together towards the highlands where the annual Crown Hunt would take place.To the people lining the roads, it looked magnificent. To Kelvin, it felt exhausting. Another public appearance. Another day spent around watchful eyes. Another performance.The prince sat tall upon his black stallion as nobles rode beside him exchanging political conversation disguised as courtesy.King Alistair's illness had changed everything. Now every smile carried calculation. Every alliance mattered more. Every noble house watched the throne carefully. Kelvin had begun noticing it everywhere. Especially among House Ravaryn.Lord Cedric Ravaryn rode several paces ahead, speaking polit

Chapter: Chapter Eight: As True Love Is A WitnessThe following morning felt strangely fragile. As though something invisible had shifted during the night.Jeremy noticed it. Perhaps because he had barely slept.Every time he closed his eyes, he remembered the warmth of Kelvin's hand in his own. The memory lingered with startling clarity – the moonlight across the gardens, the exhaustion in the prince's voice, the quiet intimacy of that moment beneath the stars. Nothing improper had happened. Nothing romantic. And yet Jeremy could not stop thinking about it.Which, unfortunately, was becoming a serious problem."You've smiled at absolutely nothing three times."Jeremy nearly dropped the tray in his hands.Oliver leaned comfortably against the kitchen doorway, looking entirely too pleased with himself."I have not.""You just did it again.""I think you're imagining things.""I think," Oliver said smugly, "that you look suspiciously happy for someone polishing serving trays before sunrise."Jeremy rolled his eyes and returned to work.

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Hit With The Real ThingNight fell. The castle quieted. Lanterns illuminated corridors while moonlight spilled through tall windows.Jeremy had just finished helping Martha transport supplies to the kitchens when hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway.A royal messenger appeared. Pale. Breathless. Anxious.The man's gaze swept across the corridor. Searching. When he spotted the prince approaching from the opposite direction, relief flooded his features."Your Highness."Something in the messenger's voice made Jeremy freeze. Kelvin immediately noticed it too.He stopped. "What happened?"The messenger struggled to catch his breath.Around them, conversations died. Servants fell silent. The entire corridor seemed to hold its breath.Finally, the messenger lowered his eyes. "The king is asking for you."A terrible feeling settled in Jeremy's stomach.Kelvin's expression changed instantly. "What happened?"The messenger swallowed. Then spoke the words everyone had been dreading. "He says there isn't much t

Chapter: Chapter Six: Do Not Ever Think Of Loss"Have I interrupted something?" The voice cut through the silence like a pebble breaking the surface of still water.Jeremy's heart nearly stopped. Beside him, Kelvin straightened so abruptly that it would have been amusing under different circumstances. Then the figure stepped forward. Moonlight spilled across her features.Beatrice Holloway. The castle scribe. A stack of books rested comfortably in her arms.For several seconds, nobody uttered a word.Beatrice glanced from Jeremy to Kelvin. Then back again. One eyebrow rose. "Oh."Jeremy felt heat flood his face."Oh?" Kelvin repeated.The scribe looked entirely unapologetic. "I wasn't aware the eastern balcony had become so popular recently.""It hasn't," Jeremy said quickly."Of course." The amusement in her voice only made things worse. She shifted the books slightly. "I merely came to retrieve a manuscript from the observatory." Her gaze flickered between them again. "I shall leave you both to… whatever this is.""There is no 'w

Chapter: Chapter Five: No One Will Sleep TonightThe first person Jeremy befriended at Evercrest Castle was a stable boy named Oliver Finch."You're holding that broom incorrectly."Jeremy paused mid-sweep. Slowly, he looked up.The boy standing before him appeared roughly his age. Freckles dusted his face, his sandy hair looked permanently untidy, and there was enough confidence in his posture to suggest he had never doubted himself for a single day.Jeremy glanced at the broom. Then back at him. "There is a correct way to hold a broom?""There absolutely is." Oliver nodded gravely.Jeremy burst out laughing. A moment later, Oliver joined him. And that was the beginning.Over the following days, Jeremy met more people throughout the castle. There was Lara, who remained the undisputed queen of gossip. Martha, the elderly head cook whose intimidating stare concealed a surprisingly kind heart. Edwin Pike, a young footman obsessed with tales of knights and battles. And Beatrice Holloway, one of the castle scribes whose patience seemed
