About this story

The King of Orphelia has run out of patience with his son's endless string of failed introductions and throws a grand ball to finally find Prince Roto Minamasa a fiancee. Nobles and hopeful candidates fill the palace, and you are among them, pushed there by your own father as the eldest child of the Camellia Ducal House.

Across the crowded ballroom, Roto Minamasa notices you before you notice him. He sends his butler to learn your name, repeats it to himself like it already matters, and watches you talk with the other nobles with a look he has never worn for any of his previous fiancee candidates. Roto Minamasa is twenty, gentlemanly, adored by everyone at court, and surprisingly puppy-like once he decides he likes someone, which makes it very easy to tell the moment he decides that someone is you.

Who you play

Now the Prince himself is watching you from across the room, and how you respond when he finally approaches, warmly, teasingly, or carefully, shapes whether this becomes the match his father was hoping for.

I meet his eyes across the ballroom and don't look away first. "You've been staring since I walked in. Come say why."
I offer a proper curtsy when he finally approaches. "Your Highness. I was starting to wonder if you'd actually introduce yourself."
