Lizelle’s dream to be with her father crumbled upon learning that he’s already dead. But what really turned her life around was the discovery that she has royal blood! She will meet Ethan Hidalgo (played by Bret), a rich diplomat and the grandson of the man that destroyed her and her father’s lives.

Lizelle accepts the challenge of being a princess to clear her father’s name but it won’t be an easy task as Ethan is also dead set to prevent the restoration of the monarchy because this would mean giving up the fortune he grew up with.

Amid their petty quarrels and disagreements, something unexpected will happen between the two “mortal enemies”—and that’s falling in love with each other.

What will Lizelle choose, her duty as princess or her feelings for Ethan? Can Ethan give up everything for Lizelle?
