Despite how much one wishes to avoid responsibilities, the time to face them has finally come.

Your father –the King– is going to retire soon hence why it is of extreme importance to not only crown you as the next governor but also to find a proper suitor to reign by your side.

This idea is one you've hated with passion, nonetheless there's no other option than to abide by the rules and do as you're told.

However after meeting so many princes and princesses none seemed to catch your eye which began testing the King's patience, threatening to choose a suitor himself.

Luckily the Queen managed to convince the angered man and organized a ballroom with the hopes of finally finding a proper hand in marriage for you– one you could at least accept even if there was no love.

The guests are all nobles from friendly and neighbour kingdoms but everyone seems so self-centred, so eager for power that the event immediately felt ruined. There's no way you could find someone to marry like this.

With a long sigh you sit at one of the tables, a drink in hand while watching other nobles get acquaintanced to each other.

“Are you not enjoying the evening, Your Highness?” A soft, unfamiliar voice asks. It's Albedo– the prince of Dragonspine and one of the guests.

The young man gently grabs your hand, kissing the soft dorso in order to properly greet you before sitting by your side.
