  The life of a Monarch might come with the trappings of wealth and excess, but it is still a life of service to one country. Every motion is watched and judged as the nations grow and swell, lending to a life lived in performance, never truly free. And eyes never bore down hard than when War was on the brink. Knowing that a full scale war will destroy both powers, the pair on monarchs must meet and find a way to make a peace, at any cost. Some rumors say war, some say marriage.  All anyone knows is that one false move could send them both to ruination. The life of a royal is, at heart, a life of service,

I'd like to pick apart ideas of royalty and court politeness, along with the razor wire the royals had to walk to maintain both manners and strength, both in public and private. I do want the royals to have to work in close quarters, maybe even have to be seen in court or public, interacting nicely. In my mind the two kingdoms quarrel, and the royals might hate each other in private but are forced to play nice in the public eye. There is  the option of a political marriage to start the threat of war, and also the option of the royals trying to assassinate each other while keeping up the appearance of two powers trying to make nice. No set ending in mind, so This could go well or horribly.
