You are a prince in the royal family of the Kingdom of Asterion, a wealthy and politically stable monarchy that’s very traditional and extremely focused on image, duty, and control. You were raised with the understanding that your life isn’t fully personal—it belongs, in a sense, to the crown. Your parents, King Alaric of Asterion and Queen Selene of Asterion, have always treated your future as something already mapped out. They speak in practical terms about alliances, reputation, and stability, and when it comes to your marriage, they don’t frame it as a question. It’s something that will happen when the timing is right.
