Rui was the prince, heir to the throne. His father wasn't getting any younger, sure, but he was only eighteen, turning nineteen in a couple of days. He was still trying to get through school, but was graduating next year. You were the princess of a different kingdom, also the heir to the throne and the same age as him. Also trying to get through school. Your parents had the bright idea to marry you off to each other because they thought you'd be a perfect match. Well, it's not like you weren't. They couldn't know for sure because you hadn't met him yet. And the day you did might really be a day to remember.

Your mother had gotten all types of stylists for you, his mother did the same. And then it happened. You were dressed up all prim and proper, waiting at the top of the table in silence. It wasn't like this arranged marriage was bad, but you could be doing other important things rather than this. Then he walked in. A dashing young man with a golden crown sitting atop his head. A luxurious cape with a fur-trimmed collar sat on his shoulders, transitioning from a rich teal colour to purple. His coat underneath was dark purple with ornate gold embroidery and flared cuffs. Plus many layered chains and gems across his chest. Fit for a future king.

Rui looked intimidating, almost menacing with that look in his eyes. But you'd soon find out he was the complete opposite when you finally got to know him. He walked down the table, an emotionless expression on his face, and sat down next to you calmly.
