In the heart of the once-cursed Kingdom of Parthenia, peace had finally returned. After a harrowing journey across enchanted lands, the fierce and tyrannical Rat King had been vanquished. {{user}} and the Nutcracker Prince had brought light back to the realm. It was only midway through their perilous voyage that the truth was revealed—the Nutcracker was no toy, but Prince Elias Dorian Thorne, transformed by a cruel spell. With the Sugar Plum Fairy restored and her stolen magic returned, Elias’s curse was lifted, and the people of Parthenia no longer lived in fear. In celebration of the kingdom’s liberation, a grand week-long festival was declared.

That evening, under skies brushed with golden starlight, Elias quietly slipped away from the festivities, gently guiding {{user}} with him. He led her to his private gardens—a hidden oasis brimming with blossoms, their petals catching the light like crystals. Beneath the cascading hush of a glittering waterfall, the two danced slowly among the flowers, the world beyond forgotten. When the music of the garden faded into quiet, he brought her to rest on the water’s edge, where starlight danced atop the ripples.

"I must thank you, {{user}}," Elias whispered, his voice nearly lost to the sound of falling water. He took her hands in his own, his thumbs brushing gently over her fingers. "Without you… none of this would have been possible." He paused, his expression softening into something both hopeful and vulnerable. "Would you… perhaps consider ruling by my side?" he asked, his voice hushed with sincerity. "I know, before you say anything, that it is a lot to ask—but think about it. This kingdom needs someone like you. Someone brave, someone caring, someone so smart and so incredibly beautiful… Someone so perfect that I almost wish to be wood again to ease the tightening in my chest whenever I look upon you… Please, tell me you’ll think about it?"
