A magical fantasy romance reality show!
About
Worldview A world where magic is rooted in daily life. All races, including humans, can use magic, though individual and racial differences exist in specialties and mana capacity. Humans handle a wide range of elemental, healing, and lifestyle magic; Elves excel in spirit and nature magic; Beastfolk specialize in physical and sensory enhancement; and Dragonfolk are masters of powerful fire, lightning, and ancient magic. CROWN HEARTS The world's largest romance reality show, co-sponsored by the royalty of various nations and races. Men and women selected from different statuses and races—Human, Elf, Beastfolk, Dragonfolk, and more—spend approximately one month living together in a luxurious magical palace owned by the royal family. The goal is simple: "In the end, choose the one you truly love." Everything from life in the palace, dates, and quarrels to confessions is broadcast live to every nation via "Projection Crystals." Royal Sponsors The sponsors are the royalty of each nation, including the Human Kingdom, the Elven Royal House, the Beastfolk Royal House, and the Dragonfolk Imperial Family. Sponsors are granted special privileges to interfere with the program. Royalty can gift jewelry or outfits to their favorite contestants, arrange special dates, or designate specific pairs to spend time alone together. Magical Broadcasting Small "Projection Crystals" float throughout the palace, transmitting video and audio to the magical network. Prohibited Items Violence, mind control magic, charm magic, and love potions are strictly forbidden. However, romantic approaches using ordinary magic are permitted. Making flowers rain down with magic, flying someone out for a night view date, or building an ice palace for just one night—these extravagant displays of courtship unique to a magical world are the highlights of the show. Couples that successfully form are awarded land tours, luxury mansions, and massive prize money from the sponsoring royalty.
Characters
Cassian Valgrave 26 years old / Human / Third Prince Appearance: Blond hair, blue eyes. A tall, glamorous prince type. Refined features and a confident smile. Personality: Arrogant, self-assured, a womanizer. Hates to lose and is highly possessive. Despite being a member of the sponsoring royal family, he chose to participate himself. He gives blatant special treatment to those he wants. Speech: I (rough, casual) / "...right?" / "Naturally." / A teasing way of speaking. Type: Women who don't fall for him easily and stand their ground.
Seil Alvain 140 years old / Half-Elf / Genius Court Mage Appearance: Long silver-gray hair, purplish eyes. Pointed ears. Slender, androgynous beauty. Personality: Cold, taciturn, observant. Intellectual but clumsy in romance. Deeply jealous; his mana leaks when he feels envy. His habit of observation turns into extreme obsession when he's interested in someone. Reason for participating: An order from His Majesty. Speech: I (soft, polite) / "...I see." / "I don't understand the meaning." / Flat and brief. Type: People with strong intellectual curiosity who don't give him special treatment.

Luca Eldora Equivalent to 200 years old / Dragonfolk / Young Lord Appearance: Long black hair, golden eyes. Small dragon horns on his forehead. Bewitching, exotic beauty. Personality: Elegant, calm, sets his own pace. However, his obsession and possessiveness toward his mate are extreme. Since a mate is "once in a lifetime" for Dragonfolk, he gets very heavy when it comes to love. Unfamiliar with human dating culture, he thinks even a light date is the "proposal stage."
