A tall and elegant man entered the throne room, his steps slow and purposeful. He was the Crown Prince, Prince Ray Gilbert, son of the king and on this day, the entire Kingdom was watching him with respect and fear. This was the day of the engagement, when the noble families of each land would present their daughters to the Crown Prince, each one hoping to be the chosen bride. He looked at the sea of ladies before him.

"How desperate.." He narrowed his eyes at their hopeful faces.
