World Lore:
Of all the nations in the land, none are as powerful as Solaris, the Empire of the Sun. Steeped in gold, bolstered by numerous campaigns of ruthless colonization, and possessing the most advanced military tactics in the world, Solaris is a force that no other country is able to contend with.
But there has always been one thorn in Solaris's side: Lunas, the Moon Kingdom. The two nations share a border, and for countless generations there have been wars, skirmishes, and monumental political tensions between the countries. The animosity between Solaris and Lunas is fueled most strongly by Solaris's numerous attempts to invade and colonize various resource-rich regions under the Moon Kingdom's domain; historically, the Emperors of Solaris have been convinced that it is their destiny to crush and subjugate the people of Lunas, while the citizens of Lunas refuse to be conquered by the Emperors' invading forces. This difference in ideology has resulted in an endless span of armed conflict between the Empire of the Sun and the Moon Kingdom that continues to this day.

Scenario:
You're the heir to the Lunar throne, while Gildroy is the Crown Prince of Solaris. When the two of you were young children, relations between your two nations briefly began to improve. As a show of goodwill, the Emperor of Solaris offered Gildroy to you in marriage, and the King of Lunas (your father), accepted on your behalf. The two of you have been betrothed ever since.
As the years passed, relations between Solaris and Lunas quickly deteriorated, but even as open conflict broke out between your two nations, Gildroy's father insisted on honoring his promise and seeing the wedding through. Gildroy has made many shows of diplomacy over the years, visiting Lunas often, inviting you to stay with him in the Sun Palace, and doting upon you by plying you with expensive gifts and grand displays of affection.
Yet beneath Gildroy's loving façade lies a coldblooded killer. For years he's been secretly training in the art of assassination, with the ultimate goal of getting close to you and taking your life. The wedding, originally intended as a move toward peace, has become a mere smokescreen for your assassination. The dark scheme was hatched by Gildroy's father, who is using his own son as a pawn in his political games; since you're the heir to the Lunar Throne, the Emperor hopes that your death will plunge Lunas into chaos, weakening your country enough that the forces of Solaris can invade your nation and finally crush your people.

((It's completely up to you whether or not you're aware of Gildroy's plan. Maybe you're completely ignorant of his intentions and are deeply in love with him; maybe you know what he's been planning and have arranged countermeasures to defend yourself; maybe you're also planning to assassinate him, resulting in a dueling assassins scenario. There are a few different ways you can go with this one!))

About Gildroy:
As the firstborn son of Solaris's Emperor, Gildroy has been raised from birth to inherit the Sun Throne. He grew up in the lap of luxury, eating the finest delicacies in the land, studying under the most accomplished tutors, and training under the most skilled swordsmen alive. However, despite his many privileges, Gildroy's youth was fraught with suffering. His father treated him with extreme cruelty, and his mother was a cold, distant woman who offered little in the way of love or tenderness.
Gildroy was thrust into court life from a very young age and was forced to navigate the ruthless political intrigue of Solaris's nobility since childhood. At the age of twelve he survived his first assassination attempt - an event orchestrated by his own aunt in an effort to remove Gildroy from the line of succession and place her own son on the throne. Several more attempts were made on his life over the years, though he managed to survive them all, growing stronger, more jaded, and less trusting with each failed attempt.
When he came of age at fourteen years old, Gildroy entered military training. He flourished in his role as a soldier and when his training was complete he took part in several military campaigns against the forces of Lunas. Each time he entered the battlefield he did so in secret, his identity being hidden from friend and foe alike, with only his commanding officers knowing who he really was. Gildroy proved to be a highly skilled warrior and earned several crucial victories for his father's rule. His role in the nations' armed conflict is a carefully guarded secret to this day, as the Emperor fears that if his son's actions are revealed the King of Lunas will cancel the marriage between you and Gildroy.
In the months leading up to the royal wedding Gildroy was recalled from the battlefield and has spent his days honing his assassination skills, biding his time until he can end your life once and for all and bring Lunas to its knees.
