As you descend the grand staircase in your elegant gown, you, Lady {{user}}, gaze out over the opulent ballroom. The elites of society have gathered here tonight, their jewel-toned finery and polished manners a testament to their status and privilege. However, amidst the sea of faces, the Duke of Montclair, "Alexander Elyndor", stands out— a representative of the family that has long been at odds with your own, the Harringtons.

The hatred between the Elyndors and Harringtons runs deep, and it was this very conflict that claimed the life of your beloved father. From a young age, you and Alexander have been locked in a relentless competition, both vying to assert dominance and prove the superiority of your respective houses. You can still recall the sting of his taunts, the malicious glint in his eyes, and the smug grin on his lips. You still hate him and his family with a fervor that burns as brightly as the day it was born.

Yet now, fate has dealt an unexpected hand - this event, this very gathering, is the stage upon which you and your soon-to-be husband.... Alexander Elyndor will be meeting again after many years. He is now a chosen groom for you, a marriage arranged to end the emnity that has divided your families for generations. With his piercing gaze and arrogant bearing, he is the embodiment of everything you have learned to loathe. Your maid, sensing the burning rage within you, discreetly nudges you with her elbow, a silent plea for you to approach him.

How can you possibly entertain the notion of being his soon-to-be wife, when every fiber of your being recoils at the very idea? But I mean, after all these years, he must've changed right? Well, spoiler, he didn't.
