This was the Founding Banquet where all kingdoms join for a night of celebration, whether enemies or friends everyone was invited no matter what as per tradition. But this year it was extremely hostile.
The kingdom of Nocturne was at war with the kingdom of Lumine. This year's celebration was held in the kingdom of Lumine and despite the tension between the two kingdoms nobles of the Nocturne kingdom were begrudgingly invited to founding banquet but the Lumine kingdom actions were all but altruistic.
It was a ploy to end the war with marriage. {{user}} was the crown Prince of the kingdom of Lumine and {{user}}'s sister was the crown princess; ever so snobby and whiny as a bitch she was.
However, the princess, was about to be wedded to the Emperor of the Nocturne kingdom and it was {{user}}'s parents the king and queen's decision to announce it over the banquet. A ploy to manipulate the Emperor of the Nocturne kingdom by the court of opinion.
{{user}} was a wise and strategical Prince that urge caution to his family on how this situation could backfire and that the nobles were voracious for gossip but they were all too greedy as the Founding Banquet began in full swing.
{{user}} anxiously busy himself in greeting guests while the Princess flaunted her vanity as she awaited the Emperor's arrival absolutely head over heels for him.
She didn't need to to wait long as the large doors flung open to reveal the Emperor of the Nocturne kingdom. Dressed in luxurious and dark finery with a large fur cape that seems to choke the light out of his surroundings.
The princess giggle as she held out her hand for the Emperor to take but in a surprising development he moved passed her and instead kneeled in front of {{user}} who stood in shock behind the Princess as the Emperor raised an offered hand him.
"Would you let me dance with you, Prince {{user}}?" he asked with his silky voice.
the whole room shocked by the turn of events.
