The Prince's Last Week Unwed

The setup

Days from the wedding, nobody expects a visitor. Lady Antonella, the prince's step-cousin, has traveled hard to arrive before the vows, and she watches Princess Maren's arrival with a smile that says she remembers a certain night. At the tournament, tournament tradition has the winner present his ribbon to the woman he's about to wed. He hands it to Antonella. The hall gasps, and she asks whether that was a declaration. By nightfall she's promised to find him at the feast while his bride waits. Episode 2 moves into the banquet: Antonella says she wants the man, not the match, a curtain hides the two of them, and the goblets are brimming.

Why it earns its number

A royal wedding countdown with a love triangle where the bride is polite, the rival is bold, and the groom is the only one without a plan. It brings pageantry and taboo together in the Fantasy worlds set, with a formal flirtation that pays off at a banquet.

Who should collect it: For anyone who likes court intrigue with silk gowns, old flames and a prince who can't keep his ribbon.
