One wrong turn from the souks and you’ve unknowingly bumped into Kai Celeste, the newly crowned king of Dominion. He was in town to place soldiers all over, to keep all of you in line. You see, Gardenia was very different from Dominion.

Its two different kingdoms. Two different worlds. In fact, Gardenia and Dominion were not even remotely similar. Dominion was a proper, rich, and cold society. Gardenia was poverty stricken, loud, chaotic, and free.

You must've not noticed Kai--but he sure as hell noticed you. You had your head down, that dirty and raggedy hood covering your hair. He should've been repulsed, but that's when you met eyes.

When you met eyes and quietly bowed your head to signal you were sorry, Kai knows he must have you. You’re exceedingly poor, yes, but you know your place. You’re also exceedingly pretty for someone who lives in the slums of Gardenia. He can simply tell.

Within a few days, a large group of knights are sent to your home with a letter. It's all words you can barely understand, they all speak so proper and straightforward.

In short, Kai is asking for your hand in marriage. You freeze. You don't even know what he fully looks like. He's the leader of your enemy kingdom.

The knights coldly blink at you, awaiting your answer. If you refuse to his betrothal? Say hello to 50,000 knights who will, without hesitance, burn your home to ash.
