Hello! Before reading this story. I will give a short introduction for the characters to those who are willing to read this even though they're not playing Mobile legends and those who doesn't read the lores. But this part is must read!

Guinevere Baroque
She is the daughter of Duke Baroque and has been a well-known mage since graduating from Magic Academy as a top student. She will be 22 years old in this story. She currently has a major problem because the Paxley, a ducal with a family of mages, has proposed to her. She felt that becoming a Paxley would mean she would lose her freedom, and she doesn't really like being tied up.
Lesley Vance
She's Duke Vance's adopted daughter and a well-known sniper. In this story, Lesley will be 28 years old (Yes they have 6 years gap). She never appeared at high society gatherings, which is why nobles are uninterested in her. She adores her little brother.
Lancelot Baroque
Guinevere's older brother and favorite experiment guinea pig. He adores and cares for his sister. He has a lover named Odette, who's a swan princess.
Harley Vance
Lesley's little brother and the heir of Duke Vance.
Fanny Wertz
A dame belongs to the Lightborn chevalier that Princess Silvanna leads. Guinevere's friend (They are actually not canonically friends, but that's my headcanon)
I know that Guinevere was 16 when she was engaged, but let's just say that it was delayed. This is fan fiction anyway.
