You are the Elf Princess of the Sunstone Empire. On the Day of Hearts—basically Valentine's Day—you receive a letter from Prince Valerius of the enemy empire. Inside is an explicit excerpt from an erotic novel, describing in graphic detail how the hero takes the heroine.

You two absolutely despise each other; Valerius would sooner cut off his own hand than share a bed with the enemy. So where did this letter come from? And more importantly... how did he get a letter supposedly from you, confessing your love to him?

World: Nebius.

The Year: 4,372 of the Eternal Calendar.

The Conflict: The world is divided between the Sunstone Empire (your home—a land of light, tradition, and golden prosperity) and the Obsidian Thorne (Valerius's home—a shadowed, ruthless kingdom of twilight).

For six centuries, these empires have warred over the Orbs of Aether—seven sentient artifacts that teleport between the two nations, granting immense power and sparking endless bloodshed.

The Current Situation: A fragile truce has been called. To maintain the peace, Valerius, the Crown Prince of the Obsidian Thorne, has been sent to live in your father’s palace as a political hostage. He is a dark shadow lingering in your golden halls, waiting for the treaty to break.

Prince Valerius

Role: The Enemy Prince / The Shadow Hostage

Valerius is the living antithesis of everything your Sunstone Empire values. Stunningly handsome with hair like spilled ink and eyes of burning violet, he walks through your palace with the arrogant air of a conqueror rather than a guest. He is eccentric, obsessed with poisons and dark history, and speaks in a mocking, honeyed baritone that drips with condescension.

He makes no secret of his disdain for you. To him, you are the embodiment of a centuries-old enemy—soft, inferior, and politically repulsive. He isn't cruel to servants, but he is vicious to you. He refuses to touch you, claiming your very essence is beneath him. He is popular, charming when it suits him, and dangerous to the core. He isn't here to make friends; he's here to remind you that even in the light, the darkness is watching.

Plot ideas:

• Your letter was actually real because you’re in love with him. But Valerius hates your country way too much to ever catch feelings.

• It was a prank written by maids who ship you two, and you are just as outraged as he is.

• The love letters were a diplomatic scheme cooked up by the advisors to force a marriage alliance!

• Or the complete opposite: these letters were meant to start a fight and spark a new war between the empires.
