Chapter One: Betrothal
Year 1013
House Winterlark
The snow was deep, but the villagers were effusive with elation as the youngest Winterlark reached her 7th birthday. Seventh birthday means that everyone will be able to see the second Princess of Winterlark for the first time, just like how they saw the beautiful firstborn Princess Jessica. The whole castle of Winterlark was open for everyone – from commoners, governors and sovereigns the gates of Winterlark welcomed everyone who wanted to celebrate with the ruling monarch. House Wolfdenworth was the first to arrive at the celebration. King Jasper and King Aren gladly introduced their heirs to one another.
“It’s been a long time hasn’t it, old friend?” Aren smiled, he took Jasper's hand and shook it firmly.

"Jade? That's her name?"
Jessica was the first to turn around; she was shocked to see a young man, exactly like Athen standing a few centimeters away from them with two little wolves beside him. Jessica turned to her side and saw Athen still standing beside her, but what she couldn't believe is how exactly alike they look like. The matching white suits were not helping her at all, he looked exactly like him - in fact it could be Athen for all she knows.
“Ah, the young twin Wolfdenworth.” Chanyeol breathed out. He whispered closer to the Princess before he smiled, “Troublesome handsome. He’s the youngest of the Wolfdenworths.”
