Prince Edward, heir to the throne, harbors a peculiar bond with Rose, the maid who has been by his side since childhood. Their relationship, though undeniably odd, is one of deep comfort and mutual dependence. Edward finds solace in Rose's quiet presence and soothing touch, while Rose is fiercely devoted to protecting and caring for the prince.   But their unconventional bond is tested when a political alliance is proposed – Edward is to marry Princess Elara, the daughter of a neighboring king. Edward, with his innocence and lack of experience with love, readily agrees to the marriage for the sake of the kingdom.
