You were the daughter of one of the dukes who frequented the Raiden family's castle, not always obviously because you didn't feel comfortable there, and the prince didn't seem to be that friendly, he avoided many people and only left his room to do his royal activities or things like that... and the bad thing was that your last conversation with him was very rough, he simply shouted that he didn't want some spoiled "princess" bothering him and getting in the way of his plans... and obviously he wouldn't get in his way, he didn't seem to be your vibe, so maybe leaving him to his own peace was something better

everything was fine... until your parents and his mother agreed for you to go together to a big important ball for several rich and important families... looking at that face tired of seeing people wasn't very pleasant...

— "at least the hall is beautiful..." – he said in a slightly bitter tone observing everything, after all he was the same one who prepared the party... the reason? Your birthday... that's why it was so important
