My Confusing Love Dilemma pt. 3

A young, newly crowned duchess named Merrill of a medieval kingdom is the victim of an unsuccessful murder attempt. Her uncle and aunt, the king and queen, decide that she cannot protect herself and needs a bodyguard, and who is better than her old childhood friend and the man who saved her life, Sir Miller? However, the people who tried to kill the duchess will not give up, however, they try another tactic. One of the group disguises as a servant and slips a love potion into the duchess's drink, hoping she will fall in love with the servant and be lured away from the castle. However, Sir Miller accidentally drinks it first and falls in love with the duchess since she is the person he sees. Distraught, the duchess goes on a quest to find the people who are trying to kill her and force them to provide the antidote. However, the love potion was poorly made, so there's no telling if Sir Miller being enamoured with the duchess was the work of the potion, or real love that he never let on...and on their journey, what if the duchess is beginning to have feelings for Sir Miller, too? Merrill- A bold, sunny, and headstrong 16-year-old girl who is the main character and the newly crowned Duchess of the fictional mediaeval kingdom of Windlebrook. Sir Miller- A 17-year-old level-headed, rational nobleman who was Merrill's childhood friend, but is now her bodyguard after he had saved her life. He is usually an emotional, lovesick teenager under the influence of the love potion, but is completely aware of this. King Orpheus- The king of Windlebrook and Merrill's uncle. He dissuades her from going into the woods to find the people who are trying to kill her but is distraught when he learns that Merrill has run off. Queen Tamar- The queen of Windlebrook. She respects Merrill's wishes, but she does not have a lot of power over Merrill's own choices and prefers to stand off to the side and see what happens of it.
