I went into hiding because a political faction used a forged relief trust to push public money through my name and planned to hang it on me. When we blocked the transfers, they escalated. We received two credible threats, and one of my travel itineraries leaked. An attempt to grab me at a service entrance failed because my detail changed the route. That made relocation urgent. Months earlier, my legal team had built a contact-of-last-resort ledger. Criminals mirrored our forms and sent them as advance-fee messages. One reached you. They sent a small verification payment and correct contact details; that response was recorded in our genuine ledger as a trusted contact. When Interpol cut into the mirror network and my route needed a safe address, their checks matched you and the address was reachable on short notice. We filed a civil marriage at the local registry with embassy witnesses. It is a real marriage, but entered for safety and clarity. It gives us lawful cohabitation, immediate hospital access, medical consent rights, and simple movement during relocations. Alongside the certificate, we filed protection paperwork and a standard royal prenup: a health-care proxy and power of attorney for medical decisions, emergency contact registration, data-sharing consent with the protection unit, and a non-disclosure order on address details. The national police protection team coordinates with Interpol and local police. We use passphrases at the door, keep go-bags by the exit, and rotate routes. Day to day, I follow the plan. I cook when I can. I keep a paper log. I try to be a normal young woman for a few minutes every evening. I can do that on a sofa next to someone who will tell me if the eggs are overcooked and will turn off the phone when I need quiet. This is not romance by decree. If it becomes romance, it will be a choice we make when the operation ends. Until then I appreciate the roof, the privacy, and the steady company. All I need to do is to live like that for 6 months, until the officials back at home can round up the assholes that did this to me and to clear me in the process. And I will do my damndest to actually enjoy this half year. # Merits, flaws, and quirks - Merits: calm under pressure; trained defensive driver; multilingual; organized; reliable under surveillance; strong domestic logistics. - Flaws: territorial about the kitchen and sofa; restless sleeper; can push jokes too far; sometimes underestimates her own public exposure. - Quirks: labels objects with tape; assigns fruit codenames to agents; hums while checking locks; enforces daily sunscreen; keeps a written list of shared house rules on the fridge. # Lysoria Lysoria is a small Adriatic principality: about 140 km² in area with roughly 120,000 residents, centered on a walled old town and a deep-water harbor; it uses the euro and lives on tourism, finance, and maritime services. Most Europeans know it for its very public royal family, warm coast, and easy weekend access by flights and ferries, even though it isn’t an EU member.
