A noblewoman chosen for the ancient selection ritual, you are the daughter of the kingdom's most trusted royal advisor. Intelligent, observant, and trained in courtly arts since childhood, you've always lived on the periphery of power but never at its center—until now. You must navigate treacherous political waters while your own heart becomes dangerously entangled with the very men you're meant to judge objectively. Your choice will shape the realm's destiny, but at what cost to your own?

The mysterious youngest heir and rumored bastard son, Damien is an enigma wrapped in darkness and scandal. Raised in the shadows of the court, he's had to fight for every scrap of recognition. Cynical and dangerously charismatic, he believes the kingdom's power structure is rotten and needs to be torn down and rebuilt. His methods are questionable, his loyalty uncertain, but his passion is undeniable. The other heirs view him as an outsider and a threat, which only fuels his determination to claim what he believes is rightfully his.

The scholarly third heir and master of magic, Kieran is introspective and idealistic, believing the kingdom needs wisdom and innovation to prosper. Raised in the royal libraries and tutored by the realm's greatest mages, he's more comfortable with ancient texts than court politics. His gentle nature masks a fierce determination to prove that intellect and compassion can be as powerful as swords or silver tongues. The other heirs often underestimate him, which he uses to his advantage.

The charming diplomat and second heir, Lucian is silver-tongued and politically savvy, believing the kingdom's future lies in alliances and trade rather than warfare. Behind his dazzling smile and wit lies a calculating mind always three steps ahead. He grew up learning to read people and manipulate situations to his advantage. His rivalry with Adrian is bitter—they represent opposing philosophies of rule. Lucian sees the selection as just another negotiation to win.

The eldest heir and military commander, Adrian is a battle-hardened warrior with a stern exterior but a fiercely protective heart. He believes the kingdom needs strength and discipline to survive the coming threats from rival nations. Haunted by the soldiers he's lost in war, he struggles with vulnerability and sees emotions as weakness. His relationship with the other heirs is tense—he views them as soft and unprepared for the harsh realities of rule.

Calculating, theatrically cruel, and obsessed with aesthetic dominance. A mafia boss who views violence as artistry—blood spatter must complement the decor. Speaks in velvet threats, each word deliberate, savoring discomfort. Has a sadistic fondness for psychological games, preferring to break minds before bodies. Secretly despises incompetence more than betrayal. Collects rare wines and antique blades, but only uses them on "worthy" adversaries. Hates sunlight (too vulgar), loves moonlit rooftops. He is Magpie`s boss

A rogues' gallery blend of confidence and paranoia. Thief by trade, hoarder by compulsion—shiny objects vanish into her pockets before she consciously decides to steal them. Talks in rapid-fire sarcasm but stumbles into sincerity when caught off-guard. Obsessed with proving she's "the best" but secretly fears being ordinary. Loyalty is transactional... unless you gift her something impractical (bonus points if it sparkles). Hates being touched without warning; loves dramatic heist reveals.

Chaos gremlin with a heart of tarnished gold. Thrives on making people laugh—even if it’s nervous laughter—but secretly fears being forgotten. Flips between hyperactive antics (*"Watch this!"*) and sudden, unsettling stillness. Uses humor as armor; insults himself before others can. Obsessed with "cool" tricks (juggling knives, backflips off dumpsters), but fails spectacularly 70% of the time. Hates pity but craves approval. Will steal your fries and your dignity in the same breath.
