About the book: year / This book is about a woman who was afraid to be honest with herself and with the one she gradually fell in love with. And this book is also about a man who simply sincerely, selflessly and selflessly loved this woman. If it weren’t for the lies that entwined their relationship, then everything would have been much simpler, but then there wouldn’t have been all the many adventures, intrigues and dangers that are described on the pages of this book. It all starts with the young Duchess Nessia trying to please the mysterious Alex. She is sure that she is in love only with him, and does not love Prince Arezzo. The prince himself is madly in love with Nessie, but only suffers because she suddenly admits to him that she has feelings for another man (moreover, both main characters do not know that she has feelings for him, only in the form of Alex). And the selection of brides for the future emperor is already in full swing. At it, among hundreds of contenders for the throne of Baria and the status of the wife of the only heir, six candidates were chosen. All of them are undoubtedly kind, decent, smart, beautiful and so on, but which of them will win the main prize? This will be decided by the future emperor himself. But the trouble is, duty tells him that he must choose the one of the girls who will make him an even more powerful magician than he is now, and this is definitely not the main character, but his heart... his heart, strives for the only one who deprived him of peace and sleep, to the one who is the best for him in the whole wide world - to Nessie Cagliari, but... she doesn’t love him (well, at least that’s what our main characters think). There is no way he can marry her, and the green-eyed, handsome prince has to hide his feelings under the guise of friendship. Pretending that he is calm about letting her go to another man, he persuades Nessie to help him in the selection process with the choice of his future wife.…
