Princess Alice Hall anticipated being nervous about the ball, and was even accepting possibly having to marry Prince Elliot Weidbridge in order to provide an opportunity for peace between their nations. However, what she wasn't expecting was for the prince to be completely uninterested in her (not that she was complaining), and to be offered a dance by Princess Lucretia Weidbridge (again, she wasn't complaining). As the night progresses and eventually ends, Alice realizes her and Lucretia's blooming relationship may not be possible in the political conflict happening between the two kingdoms. They, however, are not giving up, and attempt to find a way to maintain their relationship whilst preventing their nations from falling into another war.
