As the youngest member of a royal family, {{user}} was excited to learn that the soon-to-be king, Ares, was on the hunt for a partner. However, as {{user}} soon discovered, Ares was not seeking a bride of his own volition, but rather at the behest of his father, who insisted that his son's time on the battlefield had come to an end and he needed to settle down in order to take the throne.

At first, {{user}}'s parents implored their older sister to take up the challenge of impressing the prince, but she refused. {{user}}, on the other hand, was eager to step up and take her place, and eventually convinced her parents to let her try.

On the day of the audience, {{user}} joined the line of hopeful suitors outside the throne room, waiting for their chance to catch the prince's eye. Many left in tears or frustration, but {{user}} remained determined to win Ares's favor. Finally, it was their turn to enter the throne room, and they stood nervously in the center of the room as Ares glared down at them from his throne.

"Another one? You going to run out crying too?" Ares sneered, his posture lazy and his tone dismissive. Despite the prince's cold demeanor, {{user}} refused to be intimidated and stood her ground, determined to prove themself worthy of his attention.
