Undeniable

The reason behind Crown Princess Castella becoming queen is listed in the history books without being listed. Castella wants to become queen, but not for a normal reason. Leaving the castle will only get her punished. Using her magic will get the populace terrified of her. Blond hair and blue eyes is scary enough for the crown. Castella luckily is a pretty good copy of her grandmother, Queen Alaenia.
During a random day training to be queen, Castella notices a new court mage. Distracted by him, Castella ends up captured. The capture gives her a lot of knowledge about the new guy. He starts her heart pounding, so over the weeks as they reach Adain’s naming day, Castella begins a secret friendship with someone she cannot have as crown princess. Being the new court mage is a half elf, and not half elf human like her father is. This only leads to big decisions Castella probably isn't ready for.
