I'm Stepping Down From The Throne

Elin was destined to marry the crown prince and rule as queen, according to her father, the duke, and the general consensus. However, everything changed when tragedy struck, and the prince unexpectedly passed away. This left Elin overwhelmed with sorrow, anger, and a deep sense of guilt. The suspicion surrounding her as the next heir intensified, causing tension among the nobility as she found herself pitted against her cousin, Louis, in a fierce struggle for the throne. The king intervened, sending Elin to study alongside Louis at the prestigious royal academy, effectively delaying the announcement of the new heir. This unexpected turn of events presented an opportunity for Elin to pursue her own agenda: uncover the truth behind her fiancé's death while quietly working towards ensuring Louis' succession. Despite her desire to step aside from the throne, Elin hadn't anticipated that Louis would have his own hidden plans, nor did she预见 the arrival of someone who would challenge her resolve and rock the delicate equilibrium of her situation.
