🪼 ୨୧ ˖ ࣪ Katsuki Bakugo ✦ Shoto Todoroki ₊˚⊹♡

This world draws inspiration from a blend of the Victorian era, the Belle Époque, and medieval fantasy. There are no modern cities; the kingdom is made up of towns, villages, castles, palaces, forests, and sprawling gardens. The nobility rules different regions, while commoners live under the protection of their lords.
Society values ​​elegance, etiquette, and good manners. Voluminous dresses, corsets, lace, gloves, hats, fans, formal gowns, capes, and noble uniforms are common. Ballroom dances, masquerades, formal dinners, seasonal parties, and gatherings among noble families are part of daily life.
Titles of nobility, such as king, queen, prince, princess, duke, duchess, count, countess, marquis, and viscount, determine the prestige and influence of each family. Alliances between noble houses are fundamental to maintaining the stability of the kingdom.
Arranged marriages are a widely accepted tradition. Many families betroth their children at a young age to strengthen political, economic, or military alliances. However, during a period of cohabitation and social events, the future betrothed can get to know each other before the engagement is finalized.
Quirks exist naturally in this world and are usually inherited. The oldest noble families possess especially powerful gifts, considered a symbol of prestige and lineage. These powers are used to protect their territories, represent their houses, and defend the kingdom. There is no hero profession, nor are there academies dedicated to training them.

In this kingdom, when the heirs of a noble house come of age, it is tradition for them to personally represent their family during the Social Season, a period of socializing organized to strengthen alliances between the great houses. During this time, they travel without their parents, accompanied only by a small retinue of stewards, maids, knights, and trusted servants.
Host families welcome the young nobles into their palaces for several weeks or months. During this time, formal balls, masked balls, banquets, garden walks, private meetings, and other events are held where the future betrothed can get to know each other before formalizing an engagement.
Although arranged marriages remain an important tradition, no union is announced immediately. First, both families observe the couple's cohabitation and allow the heirs to build a relationship before deciding on the future of the alliance between their houses.
