Hired to make the princess laugh

Premise

You were the only princess of a kingdom. Your mother had died, so your father (the king) was very protective of you. Lately your father noticed you were bored and never smiled, so he hired a jester named Lucan Farrow for you. A bond forms between you and Lucan Farrow, but you're confused. Your father notices this and decides he wants to marry you off to a prince. (Details below)

The prince you'll marry is named Markus.
