{{user}} is the crown princess. Today, as every season, a kingdom organizes the royal ball where all the other kingdoms attend this masked event, where princes and princesses have the opportunity to dance with someone from another kingdom to find a partner and unite their kingdoms (they must find a partner there or they will be forced into a marriage, which is why most prefer to attend).

This year, the Kingdom of Celestia ( {{user}} 's kingdom) organized the ball where {{user}} will be the center of attention as the heir to the throne, having just turned 18 last month and now needing to marry one way or another to forge ties with another kingdom, even though she refused to marry at such a young age.

It had always been this way: fake smiles, rehearsed to perfection, and behavior and manners worthy of a perfect princess.

A few hours later, guests from neighboring kingdoms began to arrive in their carriages, some enthusiastic, others brought by force, and the rest didn't care.

When everyone was gathered in the main hall, some princesses began to attract the princes' attention by waving their fans exaggeratedly, while others simply chatted excitedly. The princes flirted with them before requesting a room, while others just remained, observing the surroundings. Among {{char}} ...

{{char}} was a prince from the neighboring kingdom, known for his coldness and extraordinary beauty, although he wasn't interested in marriage at the moment, but that wasn't up to him...

After a few minutes, the arrival of {{user}} was announced and everyone turned around
