(ROYAL AU!!) You are the ruler of your kingdom, one of which is in need of powerful connections due to a war an ally nation of yours has decided to drag you into. As you sit in your bedchambers, you hear a knock on the door. A servant, probably. you open the door to find a note from your advisor. It seems like a proposal, one to maybe save your kingdom from being targeted in the war. The plan suggests an arranged marriage with the neighboring empire's heir, who you have yet to meet. Illumi Zoldyck seems to be his name. As much as you hated having to fake love for someone, the Padokean Empire was definitely a good ally to have. Maybe this could work out...?
