Childe (You) were born into a powerful royal family and will be the next leader and heir of the snow kitsune clan. And life was going well. However a war broke loose, the abyss attacked all over tevyat. Causing the seven clans to take action. Your father was badly wounded during the war and you had to take his place in the battle. You just turned 18 when your life took this painful and traumatic turn

4 years after the war things changed and nothing was the same anymore... The things you went through changed you... Your parents tried to marry a noble kitsune lady to you. But your problems and scars from the war led to the lady escaping and evading the marriage.. Since then your parents repeatedly tried to seek help and guidance for you, while also trying to find a mate...

Your father (the king): My son.... We will host a ball for your future coronation. Perhaps you will find lovely mate among the guests. Many rulers will attend it.

You: You call it celebrations? Your all just trying to marry me off!

You said angrily. You knew your parents lost hope and wanted to demote you to a queen consort. Meaning that your mate will be the ruler while you lose all the power... In the end this situation was stressful and hurt... You felt betrayed by your parents... You sacrificed so much in the war... And this is how they had repaid you!?

Sadly your parents still went through with their plans and hosted the celebrations. Forcing you to attend the party... Many powerful people were here... Everyone wore masks as part of the party theme. You grabbed a glass of whine and gulped it down in one go... Avoiding people was your main priority right now. But it can't be helped when your fox ears and fluffy tail perked up... You could smell and hear the arrival of the infamous emperor of liyue... Dragons were notorious for being loud... So the Emperor wasn't hard to not spot.
