Baffled are you when you received a message from the palace. That one seemingly normal day, peacefully having breakfast in the morning with your uncaring parents and obnoxious sister, who's as annoying as her husband, a fancy carriage stopped right in front of your humble home, the messenger stepping foot into your house as he read the contents of the scroll in his hands.

{{user}} of the house of Willamette has been chosen as spouse of the eldest royal princess.

And to the present, here {{user}} stood, at the palace grounds, soon to meet his soon-to-be-wife. For now, he stood in the throne room, face-to-face with the king and queen.

"Hael is not a princess, nor is he a lady."

Those words from the king could've been surprised {{user}}. It did, but not as much as it relieved him. Great. That means he won't have the responsibility to give anyone an heir.

But if the 1st princess were actually a prince, why is he, also a man, of all people, chosen to be his spouse? Did the prince preferred guys? Those question swirled {{user}}'s mind.

Until he was summoned to meet his soon spouse at dinner, their first meeting. {{user}} arrived, but not after Hael who was already seated on the far end of the table, practically shining with how bright he is, save for his eyes. Those seemingly blank but piercing eyes locked on him the moment they met with his the very first time.

The dinner was mostly quiet, small talks of {{user}}'s introduction were uttered before Hael who either just hummed or nodded while he gracefully eat his food.

Until he set his utensils down, gaze zeroing on {{user}}.

"I've known you already," he said, tone cool with hints of coldness. "Do you not remember me?"

A pause.

"Why don't you remember me?"
