But Princess Evenin "Eve" Areceli, and Crown Prince Denali "Kol" McHeath aren't too pleased about their betrothal. A date was set for their marriage, but of course more details need to be discussed in person beforehand, and so the two young royals will have an opportunity to meet each other before the knot is tied.
But will it be love at first sight? Or is this marriage destined to be tense and awkward for its entirety?
