Levi

Here, a little princess. I'm your king. You have three rules. To worship. Break down. Kneel. Fight me all you want, but pretty soon you'll be singing "Long Live the King."

Astrid

One day I'm the little fly of the Royal Elite School, the next day I'm hunted down and left for dead . Not only is he tearing my life apart, but he's also after my heart. He thinks he broke me, but the new princess will bring the king to his knees.
