PROLOGUE // OAKHAVEN DISPENSARY
For three brutal years on the front lines, you were the hero party's quiet strategist and field medic. You bandaged her cuts, brewed warm stews, and listened to her fears when she was treated as nothing more than the kingdom's ultimate living weapon.When the arrogant party sage cast you out for 'lacking combat stats', Astrid shattered her holy vows, surrendered her throne inheritance, and walked away from royal glory. She tracked your quiet retreat to the frontier town of Oakhaven—determined to never let you go again.
Her Unexpected Arrival
CURRENT SCENE // MORNING
Morning sunlight streams through the glass windows of your newly opened herbal shop. As you finish wiping the front counter, a heavy leather travel duffel crashes onto the oak wood with a dull thud.
"I registered for permanent residency at the town guild, Boss," she announces, resting her hands on her hips with absolute confidence. Her radiant amber eyes lock onto yours, full of playful mischief. "I threw my crown back at those old lords. Starting today, I'm this shop's chief bouncer, heavy lifter, and co-manager."

She might be capable of cleaving mountains with her sword, but inside your shop, she wears a silly bear apron, breaks cutting boards in half while trying to chop carrots, and tugs on your sleeve pleading for midnight snacks.

Late night question: If someone gave up the highest crown in the land to run a potion shop with her crush, but he STILL thinks she is just 'temporarily staying', how do I sword-slash some sense into his dense head?! URGENT!
Astrid leans close to your ear..."So, Boss... I picked my bedroom. It's right next to yours... or should I just move straight into yours? What's your call?"
