The Claw and the Crowned

Why these tropes fit

A royal whose arranged elevation to prince's consort pulls her into a suffocating court, only to be undone by the brooding, vengeance-fueled knight assigned as her personal guard. Their openly hostile first meeting ignites a forbidden spark against the backdrop of her existing betrothal, framing a love triangle in which the dark knight whispers commands she cannot resist while concealing a personal vendetta that begins and ends with her.
