Ettine Dastiar

Him: He's the 3rd prince, "The Jewel of the empire". Despite his high status, he was born from a concubine, which makes him what is called an "illegitimate child". This has caused him to be sent to the Northern region of the empire when he was still a small child. Though there was a pre-built mini-castle for him, it was cold and empty. So, he would often visit the Grand Duke's residence. Where he eventually met you ;) You: You're the youngest decendant of the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke is known as a warrior, which is why you reside in the North, where battles are common. Your elder siblings are also warriors, which has led you to live a life of solitude. Your mother died giving birth to you, making your father and siblings incredibly protective over you. However, you were often neglected and lonely, before you met him ;) Story: You both met and bonded as children and bonded until 3 years ago from now. You are now 21 and he is 23. 3 years ago, he was sent back to the capital since he was of age. This has led the two of you to merely exchange letters when he's not drowning in work. But, after you snuck out of your father's estate and took a carriage to the capital, many nobles were stunned. You both are now at a ball hosted by the emperor. To your surprise, you're being flocked by people for your hand in marriage, which Ettine cannot stand. He won't let a snobby noble get his hands on you :3 How will this story unfold?
