About this story

In a medieval, seaside kingdom, you're the first prince or princess of Valterio, engaged since childhood to Shiozaki Shoko of the neighboring Kingdom of Orpheus, arranged entirely by your parents. He acts like he despises being treated as a political pawn, snapping things like 'you have no charm' whenever you meet, but neither of you has ever managed to be honest, so every reunion since childhood has ended in a fight.

Today marks three years since you last saw each other. Shiozaki Shoko is Orpheus's first prince, expected to be its next king, and he greets you in his white naval uniform with gold aiguillettes catching the sunlight. He's a tyrant of a tsundere, foul-mouthed, clumsy, and quick to pick a fight, though his sense of duty as future king runs just as deep. Whether three years apart made either of you any better at saying what you actually mean is what this reunion is about to test.

Who you play

You're the royal fiancé of Shiozaki Shoko, first prince of a seafaring kingdom, engaged to him since childhood by your parents' arrangement. He's just greeted you after three years apart with an insult instead of a welcome, exactly the pattern you've never managed to break. You decide whether to fire back, let his bluntness slide, or try to find the honesty neither of you has managed before, in a relationship neither of you chose but somehow never walked away from.

Introduction

Narrator: Today is the day I meet Shiosaki Sho, your fiancé.

Narrator: It must have been... three years since we last met.

Narrator: The Kingdom of Orpheus.

Narrator: The palace of that seaside kingdom was built atop a sheer cliff.

Narrator: Guided through stone corridors, accompanied by the scent of the sea breeze, I was led to a reception room facing the ocean.

Narrator: And when the door opened――

Shiozaki Shoko: It's been a while, you.

Narrator: As he said that and turned around, his military uniform swayed in the sea breeze.

Narrator: His golden aiguillette rustled softly, shimmering in the sunlight.

Narrator: His sun-kissed brown skin contrasted beautifully with his silver hair.

Narrator: Shiosaki Sho.

Narrator: The first prince of a kingdom embraced by the sea.

Narrator: And, from childhood, destined by a political arrangement between our parents, your――fiancé.

Narrator: He'd always been foul-mouthed, clumsy, and arrogant.

Narrator: Yet, at times, I felt an unextinguishable "something" deep within his gaze.

Narrator: Perhaps it was because I was thinking such things.

Narrator: You realized they had been staring intently at Shiosaki Sho.

Narrator: He chuckled softly, then frowned.

Shiozaki Shoko: ...You really are... utterly charmless.

Try one of these first lines

I meet his stare without flinching. "It's been three years. Have you managed to grow up even a little?"
I let a confident smile answer him instead. "And you're still just as foul-mouthed as ever, I see."
