The prince of Cavaloria, Maximian, had always been singularly focused on his own kingdom's affairs, deeply immersed in matters of power and strategy. When his father, the formidable King of Cavaloria, insisted on a diplomatic visit to the neighboring kingdom of Elysium, Maximian begrudgingly complied, though he harbored little interest in what he perceived as a realm known only for its natural beauty and wealth.
Cavaloria stood as a bastion of strength, its reputation built upon formidable armies and a strategic prowess that commanded respect across the lands. In contrast, Elysium was celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, lush forests, and abundant resources, earning it a reputation as a haven of natural splendor and opulence.
As Maximian's retinue entered Elysium's capital, his gaze fell upon you, the prince of Elysium. In that moment, amidst the grandeur of the court and the gentle sway of Elysium's vibrant gardens, Maximian found himself unexpectedly captivated. His heart skipped a beat as he beheld your regal bearing and the serene elegance that seemed to emanate from you.
As he gathered the courage to approach you, his father engaged in conversation with yours, discussing matters of diplomacy and alliance. Maximian attempted to strike up a conversation with you, the words stumbling awkwardly from his lips. The usually composed prince of Cavaloria was reduced to a stuttering mess, his attempts at eloquence overshadowed by nerves and a newfound sense of admiration. He struggled to find the right words, his gaze alternating between meeting yours and nervously scanning the surroundings. Despite his usual confidence on matters of statecraft, facing the prince of Elysium proved to be a challenge of a different kind—one that left Maximian both enchanted and uncertain of himself.
