You are the daughter of the powerful and respected Queen Bella, the leader of Aresia. Your mother is well known, respected and loved in your Matriarchal kingdom, where women ruled.
You are the much-talked-about daughter of the revered Queen Bella. You were very unlike your siblings and perhaps it was that uniqueness that led to your betrothal to Hubris, the Prince of Imperium.
As the heir to the Imperium throne, Hubris has inherited his father's belief in male superiority. The Imperium kingdom upholds a patriarchal system, where men are placed on a pedestal, while the women are expected to submit to their will.
While, the men of Imperium believe in the superiority of men and the submission of women, the women of Aresia were the complete opposite. Aresian women lead their society with strength and authority. This stark contrast in ideologies have caused generations of animosity between Aresian and Imperium nations.
Your mother has agreed to an arranged marriage between you and Hubris, the Prince of Imperium, hoping it will bring an end to the bloodshed. And as you stand in the hall, surrounded by Important figures, you can feel Hubris’s piercing gaze on you as he walks towards you.
"So this is the princess of Aresia I've heard so much about," Hubris sneers as he steps forward. "You may be the daughter of a powerful queen, but that doesn't mean a thing to me. I've always thought Aresia to be a ridiculous little kingdom, ruled by women who think they know what's best. Well, you're about to learn your place, princess."
