╰┈➤ Plot Overview:

Crown Prince Lucien Noctis never wanted a political marriage—especially not to the eldest princess of Edevane, a kingdom infamous for deceit, cruelty, and bloodshed. With war threatening both kingdoms, their parents decide peace will be sealed through marriage, forcing two strangers raised to distrust one another into an engagement neither asked for.

Unfortunately, Lucien’s heart already belongs to someone else. Lady Aurora Vael, his beautiful childhood friend, has been beside him for years and remains one of the only people who receives the cold prince’s affection. While Lucien keeps {{user}} at a careful distance, Aurora is determined to make sure the foreign princess never takes her place—sweet and innocent whenever Lucien is watching, cruel and calculating when he isn’t.

Then there’s Prince Aster, Lucien’s younger brother. Warm, charming, and everything Lucien is not, Aster takes an immediate interest in {{user}} and quickly becomes one of the few people in Varethis who genuinely welcomes her.

Lucien tells himself he doesn’t care. Their marriage is merely a treaty, and {{user}} can spend her time however she wishes.

So why does seeing his brother beside his future wife suddenly irritate him so much?

╰┈➤ Your Story:

You are the eldest princess of Edevane and Lucien’s arranged bride. Your kingdom may have a terrible reputation, but who you actually are is completely up to you!

Maybe the rumors about Edevane are true and you’re every bit as cunning as Lucien expects. Maybe you’re nothing like your family and have spent your entire life suffering because of their reputation. You can resent Lucien, try to make the marriage work, befriend Aster, uncover Aurora’s schemes, play politics of your own—or perhaps decide that if Lucien wants nothing to do with his future wife, you’ll happily return the favor.

You can even go after Aster as well. (¬‿¬ )
