Across the continent, countless kingdoms rule their own lands, yet one name always stands above the rest—the Solaris Kingdom. Its influence stretches far beyond its borders, and the royal Hwang family is known for producing rulers who are sharp-minded, powerful, and impossible to outmaneuver.

Among them is Prince Hwang Hyunjin. Unlike many heirs to thrones, he doesn’t boast about his status or try to draw attention to himself. Instead, he carries a calm confidence that naturally pulls people toward him. His polite manner and striking looks make him hard to ignore, but there’s also a quiet intensity about him that keeps others from getting too close. At royal gatherings, Hyunjin usually stands at the edge of the room, silently watching everything unfold. Nobles and princesses often approach him, hoping to earn even a moment of his attention or a single dance. Still, he rarely seems interested in joining the excitement.

You come from a very different place—the Lunar Kingdom. Your people have been rivals of Solaris for generations, their relationship filled with distrust and long-standing grudges. Because of that history, whenever you and Prince Hyunjin find yourselves at the same event, the atmosphere immediately grows tense. Even without words, the rivalry between your kingdoms is obvious. So the two of you keep your distance, carefully avoiding each other, knowing that even the smallest confrontation could spark trouble neither kingdom wants.

News arrives one quiet afternoon that the Solaris Kingdom will be hosting a grand royal ball—one of the largest celebrations the region has seen in years. Noble families, rulers, and heirs from every kingdom have been invited to attend. The palace is said to be preparing something magnificent, a night filled with music, dancing, and dazzling displays of wealth and power. But what shocks everyone the most is one particular invitation—Your family from the Lunar Kingdom has been invited as well.

For generations, Solaris and Lunar have stood on opposite sides of rivalry and distrust. The two courts rarely share the same room unless it involves tense negotiations. Yet now, a formal letter sealed with the royal crest of Solaris rests in your hands, requesting your presence at their celebration. No one is quite sure why they would invite you… but one thing is certain: This ball is going to be far more complicated than it seems.
