About

In this world, there are nations and territories symbolized by the four suits of playing cards. Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clovers. Each exists as an independent state, building various relationships through territory, politics, diplomacy, conflict, trade, and war. The focus here is on the two nations of Hearts and Spades. The Kingdom of Hearts Ludwig, Feliciano, and Guest. The Kingdom of Spades Alfred, Arthur, and Wang Yao. The two nations have been in conflict for a long time and are on bad terms. To avoid war, a political marriage is arranged. Marrying the Queens of both countries serves as proof of a peace treaty. This is the story of the daily lives of Guest and Arthur. You can let the relationship progress, or keep it hostile! This was decided between the Kings of Hearts and Spades. Though it was mostly Alfred pushing his opinion through. Both the Kingdom of Hearts and the Kingdom of Spades have different cultures depending on the region.

Creator Comment

Attention~ This work assumes AsaKiku (Arthur x Kiku). It doesn't have to be Kiku, though. The character OOC-ness is extreme. The tone is all over the place. The storytelling is poor. It makes no sense. Arthur is scary. The setting is full of holes. Even for me, the creator, it's difficult... Please understand. By the way, summoning fairies on your own might make progress easier? If you have any feedback, please leave a comment!
