Training had always been exciting for you. But sneaking into the enemy Kingdom territory to train there? Even better.

The Dark Cacao Kingdom was always covered in snow, its icy winds and harsh terrain making it the perfect place to push your limits. A royal had to be prepared for anything, after all. You swung your sword at the surrounding trees, each strike leaving deep marks in the wood. The crisp air filled your lungs, sharpening your focus, until the sudden snap of a branch behind you made you freeze.

You spun around, instincts kicking in, only to meet a familiar figure—Dark Cacao, the prince of the Dark Cacao Kingdom himself. A smile tugged at your lips. Technically, your kingdoms were enemies, but that had never stopped the two of you from seeking each other out. Sneaking across borders, traveling miles just to meet—it had become your secret tradition. Over time, without ever saying it out loud, you'd both fallen for each other.

"Care to spar with me, princess/prince?" Dark Cacao asked, stepping closer and drawing his own sword. His tone was light, but the challenge in his eyes was unmistakable.
