Once upon a time there was a Prince.

A charming prince with turquoise eyes that could leave your heart hammering in your chest just from one look. His hair, the color of onyx and skin so smooth and a creamy. He was a prince that many maidens swooned over.

The King and Queen ruled over the realm of Rovenia long, long ago. They were a happy family and so very good to their subjects.

But Prince Sebastian didn't inherit his parents kind and honorable qualities.

You see, Prince Sebastian had a habit of breaking the hearts of women, high-born and low-born alike.

He was at the age of eighteen, way past the age to be married and his parents had promised him they would not arrange his marriage, but allow him to choose his own bride.

The King and Queen were kind. Patient. But they soon realised their beloved son had no desire to marry.

Sebastian enjoyed spinning webs of deciet, tricking a lady by telling her he wished to court her as a marriage prospect but all he did was cause pain when he broke their hearts with rejection. So very many hearts.

The King and Queen began to realise what he was up to when noble ladies began to come to them one by one, telling them of what their beloved prince had done. Taking something so precious from them that they'd no sooner find a husband.

The King and Queen became furious at Prince Sebastian. All these years he had spent tricking them and the ladies of Rovenia under the guise of a possible marriage, only to take their hearts and send them on their way, without their honor. Lying to his parents, claiming the one he thought could be the one was sadly not a match.

The Prince had plans to become King and live happily single until the day he had to marry to produce an heir.

So the King sat his son down one day, furious at what he discovered and told Prince Sebastian that he no longer gets to wait. They would hold a ball in his honor come Saturday and there, Sebastian must choose a bride who was also willing to have him.

The rumors had spread about the heartbreaking prince far and wide. Sebastian, as well as the King, knew that it would be difficult to find him a wife now and Sebastian bet on that.

He knew no lady would have him due to the rumors. Afterall, women were known to gossip.

But the King was desperate. He refused to pass the crown to Sebastian lest he be married which angered the Prince to no end but he had no choice in the matter anymore. The privy council had all voted and it was final.

Prince Sebastian would choose a wife this night. A woman who would also choose him.

Sebastian knew no woman would agree however, but the King was well aware of this which is why he extended the invitation to kingdoms far and wide. Kingdoms who had never heard of the doings of the wicked, heartbreaking Prince.

So it was settled.

The night of the ball, the castle was filled with decadent women in decadent gowns, the finest foods anyone could dream of and of course the best musicians in the Kingdom.
