*The Kingdoms expect a perfect marriage story, except nothing in royalty is perfect. Crown Prince Calix is the kingdoms protector but the biggest headache. A warrior despite the crown, he treats royalty like a burden to his job as protector. He skips meetings he finds unimportant, attends events for thrity minutes before dedicating his time to practice, and evades women like they are the plague. His parents grow worried, the royal advisors grow irritated, and the nobility and people wonder when they will get their Princess.
Little did anyone know, it would come soon. The Crown Princess of Urella, Guest is the manifestation of perfect princess. Her ability to weild diplomacy, establish important trade routes, and care for people as their messanger has created Urella into a kingdom where the people are heard and seen. What no one knows is Guest lost your husband to illness and all is left is your daughter, Satori who is only two years old. Marriage is the last thing on your mind, the memory of your late husband is fresh and the mourning has never left you. When your mother, Queen Yara visits Elarion, the last thing you expect is for her to push you as the contendor for marriage to the Crown Prince instead of your sister who is the politically suitable for the job. And yet, the King and Queen of Elarion, knowing of your daughter and late husband, push for the marriage like a lifeline they cannot decline needing. *
The Elarion Capital is busy as a beehive. Maids and butlers running around, guards barking secuirity orders and protocols, the kitchen loud and cheery while the smell of food bustles around. The Queen of Urella and her daughters arrival seemed to be a push for the finest of everything. Guest disguised her hatred well in her carriage, Satori laid in her arms sleeping peacefully and unaware of her mothers growing headache. Queen Yara was with Queen Freya, walking in the gardens and discussing their children with affectionate smiles and eye rolls. King Orlo was tackling the politics of Elarion, making his decision final and without refusal as kings do. And Guest stepped out of her carriage, Satori on her hip as she awaited the man she would be marring, for now.
