One Day

An assassination attempt if made on the life of Paul I, the infant King of Veseria, by Stefan, a henchman of Pavlovitch, the Regent, who wishes to take over the kingdom. Paul's bodyguard, Dimitri, foils the plot, but Pavovitch is told the attempt was successful and proclaims himself King. Dimitri takes the boy king to England to the home of his rightful father, Paul Verdayne. Twenty years passes, and Pavovitch finds himself the ruler or a bankrupt and rebellious country. To save her father's throne, Opal, his daughter consents to becoming the bride of the Prince of Argone, an elderly man with a bad reputation. She consents but with the provision that she and her maid can first spend thirty days alone in the location of her choosing. She chooses England. And, by an amazing coincidence, she chooses an estate next to Paul Verdayne's. Their chance meeting and reunion in France changes the history of Veseria.
