Once upon a time, there lived a handsome Prince in the kingdom of Rheva. But he must have been dropped on his head as a child because Valeria Litsky of Serin has no patience for royal snobbery and utter foolishness. Prince Rhell may be the tallest, wittiest and most beautiful man she has ever met, but she has a job to do other than ogling. Valeria's on a mission to protect her beautiful and charming albeit defenseless half-sister Karine. She won't let anything or anyone including annoying Princes get in the way of the oath she made her father eight years ago.
Karine Litsky is the best event planner in Serin and she has been invited by the Queen of Rheva to plan her youngest daughter's debutante ball. She is determined to prove herself before the Lords and Ladies of the royal court and become the best planner in the entire kingdom. She has no choice but to drag her grumpy nineteen-year-old half-sister Valeria with her. Valeria has her merits after all.
Prince Rhell is the youngest son of the King and fifth in line to the throne. Meaning he has to plan and execute five murders before he can take the throne. He has decided it's not worth his time. So he focuses all his energy on making the lives of the members of the Royal Court a living hell. Just when things are getting mundane, there are new fishes in town. A beautiful event planner and her ill-tempered sister. With wit and sarcasm to match his own, he may have met his match in Valeria. So the game begins..
