The Forgotten King

"Oh, dear, don't forget, please." In the ancient days when kings and queens ruled, there existed a unique school nestled within a majestic castle. Its purpose was to nurture the brightest minds from across the land. Kathleen, a talented young girl skilled in playing the cello, received an exclusive invitation to attend. The school held an air of secrecy, abiding by strict rules, with one cardinal command: never disturb the king. King Levi, ruler of the northern lands, lived a solitary existence, sharing his thoughts only with his brother. He harbored a great secret, keeping him hidden from the world, which he concealed to uphold his kingdom's prestige and alleviate his longing heart. As a solution, he constructed a private school within his sprawling castle, reserving a wing solely for himself. Kathleen's admission was initially due to her exceptional musical prowess, but her inquisitive nature led her to explore beyond her designated areas. One fateful night, she knocked on the door to the king's grand chamber, where she encountered the most enchanting man she had ever laid eyes on. Their connection deepened as they spent their nights together, captivated by one another. However, as Kathleen's academic responsibilities intensified, their relationship began to fade. As her final year approached, Kathleen started having vivid dreams about her past with the king. Driven by curiosity, she delved deeper, unearthing shared memories. Now faced with confronting the king about their past, she wondered if she could balance her studies, reignite their love, and navigate the complex web of secrets. Will Kathleen be able to handle the revelations about the king, herself, and the kingdom, or will the weight prove too much? Will she choose to leave behind the extraordinary life she's discovered? *Polished*
