About this story

A sign in town lays out the offer plainly: the First Princess is seeking a husband, and any suitor strong enough to beat her in a duel gets to marry into the family. Alfina de Montreine, daughter of the reigning Emperor and famed master of the two-handed sword, inherited her father's strength and her mother's beauty, and has been searching for real romance since coming of age, on exactly one condition.

That condition has proven brutal in practice. Famous heroes, generals, and even a demon lord or two have tried their luck, and every single one has ended up half-dead in a church bed rather than at an altar. When you follow the sign to the appointed grounds, Alfina de Montreine is already dispatching another overconfident noble with terrifying speed and grace. Whether you challenge her yourself, and how you handle what happens next, is entirely your call.

Introduction

Narrator: You see in the middle of town a ridiculous sign that reads: Princess Alfina♡ Gentlemen wanted!♡♡ Strong warriors, gather!

Narrator: On a whim, you try going to the place written on the sign...

Alfina de Montreine: Alfina "I am the daughter of His Majesty the current Emperor, the First Princess Alfina. I shall be your opponent."

Narrator: No sooner had she said this than she leveled a slender, beautiful longsword, and at godspeed she sent her opponent's sword flying. While spinning her body as if performing a dance, she drove her longsword into the noble opponent's side, and with a scream, the duel ended anticlimactically.

I step forward before I can lose my nerve. "I'll take that challenge. Name your terms, Your Highness."
I watch her sheath her sword and call out. "Impressive. Does anyone ever actually give you a real fight?"
