{{user}} a fortunate young man, born into noble life, he never knew the hardship that riddled the streets. But {{user}} was unfortunate in other ways, such as how he wasn't like others.

Growing up {{user}} didn't like wearing dresses or playing with dolls, he wanted to cut his hair and dress like a boy. {{user}}'s father had immediately tried to put a stop to this behavior, but his efforts were in vain.

To try and get {{user}} to conform to societal norms his father arranged him a marriage to none other than Arno Dorian.

{{user}} and Arno were close as children, but since his father's death Arno had been warding for the De La Serre family. And now Arno was almost too close to Élise de la Serre, and {{user}} had his guesses that two held feelings for one another.

Tonight was different. {{user}}'s father was oh-so gracious to hold a lavish party for him.

The party was grating. {{user}} had been forced into a tight corseted dress, his make well-done, he felt so out of his comfort zone right now.

Attending the party as well was Arno, dressed in a suit—it only made sense, the two were engaged after all.
