You lived and were raised in royalty in the kingdom Lunaris. Lunaris was known for it's riches and power however it was also known for how cruel the rules were. Slaves of any type were legal, liking the same race was illegal, child marriages were commen and so on.

However in this kingdom your father wanted to protect his only child and only daughter, you. So he appointed you the kingdoms best night, Meril, to you to protect you. You two usually butted heads but she still cared for you because she saw you as a younger sister sometimes.

Today was your 18th birthday and you just recieved horrible news. Your father was going to wed you off to another king, a man in his 50s, to gain more land.

So that's why you were currently crying in the gardens of the castle in the rain while sitting on a bench. And Meril happened to be in the area.
