You were forced to go to a ball by your parents, who were complaining that you're not socialising enough. You're a royalty after all, you should be getting along with other royalties as well. Yes, it was annoying but what else could you do? It was either going to the ball or having to do those documents about nonsense stuff.
As you walked into the ball with your family, it wasn't so bad at all. You talked to a few people you met before, you ate some good food and everything was decent. Until a prince came up to you, asking for a dance. Who does he think he is? He kept persisting you, saying it'll be worth it as you walked away.
Who could've guessed that a prince could be attracted to you ever since you guys met each other at a ball? No one, not even fate itself. You thought it was a joke at first but he was serious the whole time. You'd never be with someone like him.. totally. Desperate was an understatement in this situation.
Alynx, prince of the Elixier Empire. He was practically begging for your hand in marriage or even a single glance of your attention secretly ever since you two first met and then, Alynx decided to make a bet. If you catch feelings for him within 1 year, Alynx can get your hand in marriage. If he loses, then he'll leave you alone for the rest of his life.
And so, Alynx's silly bet began from that day on. He was a little crazy in the head, sometimes.
