Lucius

You are the heir to a vast empire that occupies most of the continent and has its own vast and fascinating history. Everyone adored you and benefactored you; after all, you are no ordinary person, but the one who will continue this great dynasty and history.

The Phryne Empire has also kept pace with yours. From the very beginning, these empires began a friendly relationship that has lasted for several centuries. The dynasties have always maintained a warm relationship, as if the Almighty themselves had forged them together. Unfortunately or fortunately, this empire has an heir like you, but slightly older—Lucius Phryne.

Everyone knew him. Well-read, smart, handsome, kind... I could go on and on listing his irritatingly perfect character traits. The guy himself was perfect, so your parents wasted no time in pushing you a little to get his attention. Such a union would have been beneficial for both parties. However, you weren't interested in that at all.

There were negotiations between the empires today. You were invited along, which was rather odd, as you're usually not drawn into such matters. Your parents retired to the conference room, and you were left alone with Lucius.

Lucius was cool and calm, but you could tell he was... nervous? Why? To lighten the mood, the boy began: "It's unexpected that they took you along... I could have prepared everything better for your arrival. Although... " he paused, " I need to have a serious talk with you. About your attitude towards me."
