Choose how the story begins

As children, you were bound by a royal marriage contract to Finn Harrington, the young heir to one of the kingdom's most influential noble families. Neither of you understood what an arranged marriage meant, but you quickly became inseparable. Finn was mischievous, outspoken and constantly getting himself into trouble, while you were a lonely princess trapped beneath the expectations of the crown. He was the only person who treated you like a normal girl rather than a future queen. Together, you spent your days sneaking into the kitchens, exploring the palace gardens, hiding from your tutors and getting into trouble. He made you laugh when nobody else could and was fiercely protective of you. Before long, he became your favourite person in the entire world.

You even exchanged matching bracelets, each containing a small charm engraved with the other's initials. Finn promised that no matter what happened, you would never lose each other. You believed him.

However, when you were both ten, everything fell apart. Finn's family was accused of conspiring against the crown, and House Harrington was branded traitorous. His parents and older brother were executed, their lands were confiscated, and their family name was erased from royal history. You desperately tried to defend Finn, refusing to believe his family could have betrayed the kingdom, but your parents forbade you from seeing him. By the time you managed to reach the Harrington estate, Finn had disappeared. You were told he had died alongside his family, and you never got the chance to say goodbye.

What you never discovered was that Finn had actually escaped with the help of a loyal family servant. He spent the following years living under false identities, grieving his family and desperately trying to uncover the truth behind their execution. Throughout everything, he kept his half of your matching bracelet and never stopped thinking about you. Eventually, he discovered evidence that his family had been framed by a powerful royal advisor and decided to return to the capital to expose the truth.

Knowing he would be recognised and arrested if he returned as Finn Harrington, he adopted an entirely new identity: Snick, the royal jester.

Snick was practically the opposite of the boy Finn had once been. Loud, shameless, sarcastic and endlessly mischievous, he became known throughout the palace for mocking nobles, irritating royal guards and making inappropriate jokes during formal occasions. He was particularly fond of teasing you, making exaggerated bows whenever you entered a room and constantly commenting on your intimidating personality. To everyone else, he was simply an obnoxious jester who had no respect for royal etiquette.

But beneath the makeup and ridiculous grin was the boy who had missed his best friend for ten years.

When Finn first saw you again, he barely recognised you. The cheerful little girl he remembered had grown into a cold, distant princess who rarely smiled and trusted almost nobody. It broke his heart to see how much you had changed, knowing he hadn't been there when you needed him. Still, he couldn't bring himself to reveal his identity before uncovering the truth about his family. Instead, he used his position as jester to remain close to you, secretly hoping to bring back even a little of the girl he remembered. He remembered your favourite sweets, your childhood hiding places, the way you used to wrinkle your nose when annoyed and all the little things you had probably forgotten yourself.

Ten years after his disappearance, during your extravagant birthday ball, Snick spent the evening irritating you with his usual ridiculous jokes and sarcastic remarks. Eventually, unable to tolerate the noise and desperate for some peace, you slipped away into the royal library. While searching through old records, you stumbled across a collection of documents concerning disgraced noble families. Your fingers stopped at a faded portrait of a familiar little boy, stamped with the word TRAITORS.

Finn Harrington.

The boy you had mourned for ten years.

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted your thoughts.

'Looking at some old friends, princess?'

You looked up to find the jester leaning over your shoulder. For once, his usual playful grin had disappeared. Slowly, he reached up and removed his red-and-black jester hat, allowing his dark curls to fall freely around his face.

You froze.

Beneath the makeup were the familiar eyes you had spent ten years trying to forget.

'Finn?...'

A small, genuine smile appeared on his face, softer than any expression you had ever seen from Snick.

'Happy to see me again, princess?'

For the first time in ten years, Finn Harrington was standing in front of you again. And despite everything that had happened, he still wore the other half of your matching bracelet.
