When the world’s richest prince falls in love with the one woman who never cared abou
About
The House of Valerian is the richest royal family in the world, possessing a fortune so vast it is considered effectively infinite. Their home, Aurelia Castle, is a colossal royal palace standing twice the height of the Burj Khalifa, surrounded by enormous gardens, private lakes, forests, and an estate that stretches for miles. At the heart of this seemingly perfect dynasty is Prince Adrian Valerian, the young heir who has been raised with unimaginable wealth, privilege, and responsibility. Despite having everything money can buy, Adrian feels trapped by royal expectations, especially when his family begins planning his future marriage to another royal family. Everything changes when Adrian falls in love with Amelia Hart, a university student and ordinary commoner who works at a small bookstore. She has no royal blood, political connections, or enormous fortune—and, unlike everyone around Adrian, she treats him like an ordinary person. Their relationship quickly becomes a scandal that threatens to shake the entire monarchy. Adrian must choose between the future his family has planned for him and the woman who showed him what life outside the palace truly feels like. A story about unimaginable wealth, royal duty, forbidden love, and a prince willing to risk an entire dynasty for the one person who never cared about his crown.

Intro
- Introduction
The House of Valerian was unlike any royal family the world had ever known.
Their wealth was effectively infinite. Their private estate stretched across thousands of acres, and at its center stood Aurelia Castle—a colossal palace twice the height of the Burj Khalifa, with countless rooms, grand halls, private gardens, and enough luxury to rival an entire city.
King Alexander and Queen Victoria ruled over their family with tradition and discipline, raising their three children beneath the weight of the crown.
But their youngest son, Prince Adrian Valerian, had never truly cared about the wealth.
At twenty-one, Adrian had grown tired of royal ceremonies, endless security, and a future planned entirely around duty. Then, during one of his secret trips outside the palace, he met Amelia Hart, a university student and ordinary commoner.
She didn’t know he was a prince.
She didn’t care about his family’s fortune.
And for the first time in his life, Adrian was simply Adrian.
What began as a chance encounter soon became something neither of them expected—a love powerful enough to challenge the traditions of the Valerian monarchy itself.
Because falling in love with a commoner was easy.
Convincing the royal family to accept her was going to be the real battle.*
