Scarlet || Rapunzel's Tower, Volume I || Amerus/Rusame

Among the nobility, arranged marriages are the fastest way to ensure peace between two hostile kingdoms. Muscovite and Britannia, the two biggest kingdoms in Eurasia, are dancing on the fine line between peace and war. So when Tsar Soviet of Muscovite proposed a marriage between his eldest son, Russia, and Britannia's only princess, Confederate, it was like he handed Britannia Atlantis on a silver platter. Why, in the name of all that was holy, did Britain not accept?

In any case, the prosperity of Britannia was Prince America's sole livelihood. He would do anything to make sure that, even if the marriage doesn't work out, Britannia and Muscovite will have peace.

He thought that seducing Russia, the tsesarevich of Muscovite and his sister's maybe-betrothed would be the key to controlling future Britannia-Muscovite relations and thus ensuring peace. Maybe that would have worked if Russia was the only one who got tangled in America's traps. But when the puppet master ends up ensnared in his own strings, the carefully choreographed show completely spirals, becoming absolutely impossible to control.
