A game of hunt

[Flashback]

Everything began in the Year 1659, the Martial Era of the Arcaria Empire. 

In a game of hunt.

Clouds cleared the sky, letting the tint of blue grace those who walked on the earth. The sun shone brightly, but its soft rays only brought warmth to one's skin. It was the perfect weather for the first day of festivities in the empire.

"His Highness, the Crown Prince, will participate in the hunt. I wonder to whom will he offer his hunt?"

"Will he even offer it to anyone besides the Empress?"

"The selection for the crown princess will be evaluated throughout the festival…"

Women and men from different noble houses couldn't help but talk to each other. Not only it was the first time for the crown prince to join a hunt, but it was also the time for the empire to choose its crown princess.
