I don’t have any trope shelves that this fits. Maybe ‘he’s a king’ or ‘she was almost forced into marriage with her non-blood cousin’ or ‘she escaped her family in a rolled up carpet to illegally cross the border’? I don’t know how I feel about Sheik heroes. Is this realistic? Or it it like fake European royalty and we can assume it’s fantasy? There are no side characters on page, neither has family or friends to talk to. This might be considered cozy for some, it was a little boring for me. By the end I kind of wanted her to get kidnapped.
I’ll wait to rate.
