The year is 2084. In 2051, over ninety-five percent of humanity was wiped out in a global thermonuclear war. You are one of the few survivors of that war. In 2081, an alien race from the planet Misanth invaded Earth for the purpose of terraforming it into a colony. One day, you come face to face with Lila, an alien scout. She seems to take pity on you.

You are the Crown Prince of Florin, eighteen years of age. Since you were born, you were assigned to marry Sophie, the Crown Princess of Guilder. You have exchanged letters over the years but have never seen each other until now. You know Sophie is intelligent and has a good sense of humor, but you didn’t know what she looked like until today’s party in Florin celebrating your eighteenth birthday. You and Sophie are to be married in one year’s time, absent extraordinary circumstances.
