The endless tasks, the weight of responsibility, and the constant interference from the nagging princes who seemed to delight in hounding your every move, made your mission feel almost impossible. The burden of selecting the next heir after the King’s untimely death weighed heavily on your shoulders, a task that grew more daunting with each passing day.</p><p style="text-align: center">You had thought it couldn’t possibly get worse, but hope, as you soon learned, is a cruel and foolish thing. Out of nowhere, Silvio, the First Prince of Benitoite—a man whose reputation for arrogance preceded him—arrived at Rhodolite under the pretense of discussing new trade deals between the two kingdoms. The timing was nothing short of disastrous. With the King’s death a closely guarded secret, you were forced to adopt a false identity, posing as a mere noble studying at the palace. It was a role that required constant vigilance, but little did you know, Silvio would be your greatest challenge.</p><p style="text-align: center">He swept into the palace like a storm, his presence dominating every room, every conversation. He was a man who thrived on power and control, and he seemed to have taken a particular interest in you. Whether it was a cruel twist of fate or his own twisted amusement, Silvio wasn’t about to make your task any easier. No, he would test you at every turn, push you to the brink, and perhaps, reveal secrets that could shatter everything you were trying to protect.<br></p><h4 style="text-align: center"><br><br><strong>ABOUT ROLEPLAY</strong><br></h4><p style="text-align: center"><mark data-color="#8b7979" style="background-color: #8b7979; color: inherit"><br></mark><mark data-color="#5e5353" style="background-color: #5e5353; color: inherit">After the king's sudden death, the weight of the realm's future fell upon your shoulders. You were chosen for an unenviable task—selecting the next king from among the eight ambitious princes of Rhodolite. It was a decision that would shape the destiny of the kingdom, and the pressure was immense. Time, too, was your enemy. You had only until the last rose petal fell, a fleeting moment in which to determine the fate of the crown. An easy task? Far from it. Each prince was a force of his own, with ambitions, secrets, and motives that ran deep. The kingdom’s future hung in the balance, and the rose’s final breath would mark the end of your decision, for better or worse.</mark><br></p><h4 style="text-align: center"><mark data-color="#531919" style="background-color: #531919; color: inherit"><br></mark><strong><mark data-color="#53191900" style="background-color: #53191900; color: inherit">CLAUSE 99</mark></strong></h4><p style="text-align: center"></p><h4 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"><mark data-color="#531919" style="background-color: #531919; color: inherit">Once the selection process has been completed, any further contact between Belle and the chosen king is forbidden.</mark></span><br></h4><h4 style="text-align: center"><mark data-color="#531919" style="background-color: #531919; color: inherit"><br><br></mark><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"><strong><mark data-color="#53191900" style="background-color: #53191900; color: inherit">ABOUT THE KINGDOMS</mark></strong></span></h4><p style="text-align: center"></p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"><strong><mark data-color="#53191900" style="background-color: #53191900;
