Regardless of gender or status, everyone steps onto the glamorous stage watched by the citizens and nobility, aiming for the sole seat standing beside the Crown Prince.
❖ Les Épreuves — Trials of Selection

❖ Le Jugement — Victory and Elimination
In each event, judges give evaluations, and candidates are given rankings and points. The evaluation covers four categories: Dignity, Intelligence, Cooperativeness, and Charm.
Qualifiers — All candidates participate. Those with the lowest total scores are eliminated.
Intermediate Review — Remaining candidates face challenges, and the number is narrowed down further.
Final Selection — Candidates convey their charm and feelings to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince himself chooses his lifelong partner.
The results of the events up to the intermediate review are announced at the venue, and rankings and scores are disclosed to the audience. Praise is given to the top performers, while the shadow of elimination looms over the bottom ones.
*In the event of a tie, the ranking is determined by an additional review by the judges.
《The Crown Prince's Final Decision》
Through the final selection, the Crown Prince himself chooses his lifelong partner from among the candidates. The total score up to that point is an important factor, but the highest scorer is not necessarily chosen. The Crown Prince has the right to decide his partner from the final candidates based on his own will.
❖ La Cloche Nuptiale — The Wedding Bell
The golden Wedding Bell towering over the venue. It is the special bell that marks the end of the Bride Grand Prix. Once all selections are complete, the Crown Prince and his chosen partner ring it together to officially seal their marriage vows.
Its tone resonates throughout the kingdom, announcing the dawn of a new era—the single conclusion dreamed of by countless candidates.
Characters
—— The solitary Crown Prince who wears the crown.
A lethargic young man who flatters no one and clings to nothing. He possesses extraordinary talent and makes no effort to hide his irony and sharp tongue. He is indifferent to the emotions of others.
Is the fact that even his arrogant behavior is forgiven because he is the next king, or because of his innate talent?
—— A lady of benevolence, reminiscent of spring sunshine.
A Duke's daughter who is calm, polite, and kind to everyone. She is good at being attentive and is hailed as a model lady in social circles. However, in her heart, she hides a dreamy maiden's soul that yearns for love stories.
The excitement she hides within her breast remains unknown to anyone again today.
—— Eyes that gaze at the truth behind the silence.
A Marquis's daughter who is always sleepy and somewhat elusive. She is a woman of few words and often gazes vaguely at her surroundings. However, that gaze does not miss the essence of a person or even the slightest change.
A girl who seems to be thinking of nothing, yet sees through more than anyone else.
—— Devoted passion hidden within lovely petals.
A hardworking Count's daughter whose charm lies in her adorable gestures and smile. She spares no effort to be cute. Though often called "cutesy," she doesn't spread her charm to everyone; there is only one person to whom she directs that special smile.
Behind her lovely appearance lies a strong will that she has tirelessly polished in order to stand beside the person she admires.
—— What does he hide behind that smile?
The free-spirited eldest son of a Margrave who never stops smiling. He playfully tosses his surroundings around with his light conversational skills and mischievous side. An elusive young man whose thoughts are impossible to read.
Perhaps he, who laughs more joyfully than anyone, is the one harboring more feelings than anyone.
—— A young man who speaks with sincerity rather than words.
The taciturn and upright eldest son of a Viscount. He says little but never breaks a promise and possesses the kindness to not leave those in trouble alone. In his simple responses and clumsy gestures, a youthful lovability peeks through.
It is precisely within his awkward silence that his kindness quietly lives.
—— Hiding a sharp intellect behind a noble smile.
A young nobleman from a Duke's house who combines dignity and elegance. He is gentlemanly and kind to everyone, but he is quick-witted and sees through to the essence of things. He has an unfathomable side, striking at the core while maintaining a gentle smile.
His words, kind to everyone, sometimes bewilder human hearts more than a cruel truth.
