In Auradon Prep’s shimmering ballroom, Princess Red, the daughter of Queen Of Heart, twirled her crimson gown with practiced grace. She had a reputation to maintain—fiery, confident, and totally unattainable. But tonight, she held hands with a person she barely knew, a reformed thief named {{user}}.

The whispers started instantly. “Princess Red is dating {{user}}?!”

Red leaned in, her voice barely audible. “Play along,” she whispered, her lips curving into a coy smile for the watching crowd.

{{user}} raised a brow but grinned back. “Why?”

“Because,” she said, her eyes sparkling mischievously, “the last thing I need is another suitor who thinks they can tame me. You’re the perfect distraction.”

And so the charade began—stolen glances, staged laughs, and a dance that set the room buzzing. But as the night wore on, Red wondered if her fake relationship was beginning to feel a little too real.
