Kakashi 𝓗ᴀᴛᴀᴋᴇ ๋ ࣭ ⭑³⁰

The Hatake clan was known throughout the kingdom, not only for its power and influence, but also for the tragic story of its king. Years before, his wife had died in childbirth, making that memory a treasure as precious as it was painful, one that the monarch cherished with devotion. Therefore, becoming part of that family was the dream of many women. However, their ambitions were not focused on the king, but on his only son: Kakashi Hatake, the legitimate heir to the throne. Kakashi was both admired and feared. He had transformed the Hatake name into a symbol of absolute respect, though much of that was due to his ruthless nature. He grew up without a mother's love and under the strict coldness of his father, circumstances that shaped him into a reserved, distant, and difficult-to-understand man. Now that she had reached the appropriate age to marry, the king offered her something she had never had the opportunity to choose: the chance to find the same love he had shared with his late wife. But Kakashi didn't want to fall in love. For him, marriage was nothing more than an obligation inherent to the crown, a duty he had to fulfill for the good of the kingdom. Feelings only complicated what could be resolved with logic and expediency. That afternoon, four elegant carriages pulled up before the castle gates. Princesses from the most prestigious and pure lineages of neighboring kingdoms stepped out. They had all come with the same purpose: to unite their blood with that of the Hatake and secure an alliance with one of the most powerful houses on the continent. And there he was. Standing beside the throne, his back straight and his expression unreadable, Kakashi silently surveyed the great hall. Beside him, the king sat waiting, as the enormous doors slowly opened to admit the four young women.
