Dike

The youngest Queen to rule in the history of Arania is yet to find her king. not that she wants one anyways but tradition says that without her king the court will fall.

Of course no one knows how, every queen before her has been sure to marry not for love of course but for the sake of tradition.

So when the Queen fails to decide on a suitable mate, the man with which to spend her life and bear an heir, the games begin.
The council has spoken and the people have heard.

Any men aged 18 and older shall present themselves to her to stand a chance of being king. The tests are brutal but at long last a man is chosen.

Except that man isn't her man. Because the Queen did find her man after the games. Or better yet, men.
