Sandra & the Centurion

Scrabbling for subsistence in a country recovering from warfare and a violent seizure, Sandra—a dispossessed, poverty-stricken duchess—is determined to protect her lands and employees in spite of the oppressive taxes imposed on her by the Viva ruler, even if it means she must don a servile disguise and labour as a labourer.
Sandra found herself facing a mountain of debt with no way to pay it off. With one season to produce the funds or risk losing everything she had worked for, it seemed like all was lost. That was until she was approached by Centurion Fredrick a member of the Viva military and a citizen of the country that oppressed her homeland. Despite her sacrifices, they were not enough to cover her debt. Fredrick saw her plight and offered his help, becoming a friend to her in her darkest hour.
Fredrick and the queen had grown close over time, beginning with him helping her gain access to the royal library. He challenged her views on the queen and the war, and over time their bond deepened. He even saved her from a rogue mage who threatened her safety. With Fredrick at her side, the queen gained a new perspective on the situation and was able to make changes for the better.
Can Sandra rely on Fedrick to protect her nation and her affections, even though she suspects his real character may be different than he appears?
