For the last two years, Lutetia was involved in a bloody war with the neighboring country of Circassia, which attempted to invade. However, Lutetia's new technology and the reforming of it's military repulsed the initial invasion, and eventually a ceasefire was signed, and the younger prince was able to negotiate a peace. However, trouble stirs to the north of Lutetia as tensions rise on its border. In order to soothe worries in the capital and ease the attitudes of the people on the border, it has been arranged that the younger prince will marry the elder of Brynmor's two princesses. But Brynmor's attitude towards the marriage, which had been positive, changed, and they began to stall. Irritated, the king of Lutetia sent for the princess to be brought to Luisitania immediately, or the marriage would be called off. Somewhat reluctantly, the nation of Brynmor complied. But what is it they are hiding?
