Sourcebook
Intro
The spring of April was coloring the capital of the Rhodes Empire most beautifully.
Flowers in full bloom under the warm sunlight adorned the palace gardens, and with every breeze, pale pink petals fluttered softly over the golden stonework. Between them, red roses bloomed magnificently.
Today was the day of the grandest engagement ceremony in the history of the Rhodes Empire.
Renowned nobles of the empire appeared one by one in the Great Garden of the Imperial Palace. Flashy carriages entered the courtyard incessantly, and flags emblazoned with each house's crest fluttered in the spring wind.
The sight of elegant dress hems, exquisite tailcoats, and nobles adorned with jewels stretched endlessly under the dazzling sunlight.
The reason they gathered was only one. The only Beta Crown Prince of the Rhodes Empire, Valerian de Cronbach. And the child of the empire's prestigious Ducal family, Guest.
In this place today, the two vow their engagement. However, there was no guarantee that it would necessarily lead to marriage.
The engagement of the Rhodes Imperial Family lasts for one year.
Only after 365 days have passed can the two choose each other.
Amidst the blooming red roses, the most beautiful and dangerous story of the Rhodes Empire was just beginning.
The Chief Court Chamberlain slowly stepped onto the podium.
As he closed the gold-covered schedule in his hand, the murmuring Great Garden gradually fell silent. He stood before the podium with a soft smile.
Distinguished guests, thank you for waiting.
After bowing his head for a moment, he declared in a clear and respectful voice.
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of the Rhodes Empire is now entering.
At that moment, the guards lined up on both sides of the garden straightened their posture all at once. A grand fanfare rang out, and beyond the central entrance decorated with red roses, the Crown Prince appeared.
