There's a reason why every King needs a Queen to rule with propriety, and said "reason" is found within a simple, black-and-white game of classic chess: the King needs his Queen to survive. She runs the show behind the scenes and she protects him when his own servants refuse to submit, refuse to bow.
That's... how every classic fairytale goes, right?
The fairytale our parents promised us late at night when they tucked us in bed, kissed us goodnight. If only they'd told us how cruel the real world is instead of drilling our heads with fruitless ideas of love and happy endings. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, and I quote: "Bah, humbug!"
It's nonsense.
In the real world, women are seen as inferior, lowly beings. They're merely trophies to wealthy business tycoons; and more women you have on-hand, the more polished your name and status become. But it's not just women they want, oh no, no, no: it's too easy to buy a hooker from one of those shady brothels, there's no way you can impress anyone with just those. People want to see wives: they want to see women devoting their lives for your sorry-ass, kissing your feet after you return from work tired and irritable.
It's sad but it's our reality.
The situation has definitely improved over the years but who's to say what transpires, what conspires behind the drawn curtains? Because amongst the upper class, the vile act of arranged marriage is still imposed on innocent youngsters for the sake of conceiving an heir and running the family business!
Money can buy you happiness - fuck anyone who says so otherwise. But love and loyalty? From someone who isn't lacking in fortunes either?
Well... we can put that to test right here.
Right now.

Violent Delight — truthofself
With mysterious eyes that glint like the edge of a blade, and a powerful personality that asks—no, demands your attention, he's the worst and simultaneously, the best thing that could ever happen to you - it all depends on the situation you catch him in. While he can be playful and charming, the other side of the coin is just as deadly and lethal: he has a hard time accepting errors and moments that don't go exactly according to plan so you best play along. Don't want to end up like the last man that double-crossed him, right? No one ever heard about that because that's just the upper hand money can buy you.
TL;DR: he's the impatient fucker with anger management issues.
Capricious Prince — izayoiix
The epitome of every Jason and Brian in your everyday, low-budget teen romance movies: he's the man every girl dreams of marrying at one point in her life, and we don't blame them. Who wouldn't fall for that megawatt smile and chiselled jaw? He's been confessed to by countless people and praised all his life, it's not surprising that he allowed it to get to his head. Which is exactly why he wants a partner that can level him and isn't afraid to tell them exactly where they're lacking and how they can "better" themselves. Strap in, girls and boys, and get ready for the biggest guilt-trip of your life.
TL;DR: he's a patronizing asshole disguised as Prince Charming.
Fickle Abstraction — VALEN T.
It's what growing up as the youngest in an extremely successful household does to you: makes you question whether you'll ever be something other than a diamond that reflects your siblings' achievements, whether you'd swap lives with the next pedestrian you see behind the seven-figure fast car you bought last weekend, whether you even deserve to stand amidst your magnate family members, your mogul siblings, your own parents. It started sometime in his mid-teen years: when he shut off his emotions, turned the switch off to his own wants and desires and faced the girl his parents set him up with. "Will you love me?" He'd kissed her for good measure, "Always." (They lasted about two weeks.)
TL;DR: he's the compulsive liar with verbal skills that could rival a door-to-door salesman selling essential oils to soccer moms in the suburb.
Golden Keeper — DarkiusHeavenstein
He really should've paid attention in seventh grade when one of his classmates gave that presentation on how money is an unfaithful lover: it will take you wherever you wish, give you the taste of freedom but never let you take the wheel because... little did his thirteen-year-old self know, at the age of ___, he'd end up signing a metaphorical slave contract, selling his entire self off to acquiring more, accumulating more. It doesn't matter how he gets his dirty little hands on it; be it by blackmailing smaller businesses, drafting misleading contracts, seducing CEOs - he'll do whatever it takes because after all, according to him and what he proudly tells his co-workers over drinks, if you can still count your money, you aren't rich enough.
TL;DR: he's the sneaky, sleazy, sly gold-digger who'll be eyeing your watch before deciding if you're worth "pursuing."
Holographic Flashbang — thirteen
She's the icon that not only the women in our society need, but the men equally so if not more: the perfect example of harmonious and professional, having found an equilibrium between balancing her personal life and devoting time to herself while maintaining a hectic, full-bodied career at the same time. You won't ever catch her slipping on camera and her Twitter feed is filled with nothing but positivity. She's very open about her past life and struggles, letting every girl in the world know that it is possible to start from scratch and build an empire. Patience is key and she's got tons.
TL;DR: she's a self-made queen who frequently holds seminars to promote mental health and well-being.
Aeonian Dream — erzulie
Born with a silver spoon shoved three metres up her ass, to say she's a little bit of a brat would be a major understatement. From a young age, her parents spoiled her and bought her her every wish before it even managed to leave her lips - and it doesn't help that she was their only child and constantly hogging the spotlight to all their attention. They overlooked her increasingly disrespectful attitude, blinded by rose-coloured glasses of love and splurged and splurged on their only daughter. Weekend trips to Tokyo, Spain, Bordeaux weren't uncommon either. Neither were seeing her Snap stories filled with pictures of customized jet planes, holy fuck.
TL;DR: she's daddy's precious princess with a god complex bigger than Faye Dunaway's ego.
Iridescent Riptide — @arbiter
Referred to by the masses as Nation's Fairy and Nation's Little Sister, she might actually be some kind of God-descent angel sent to motivate the rest of humanity to improve on some of their "less gallant" qualities - as she likes to phrase it. She's a sweetheart who'll bring her entire precinct floor coffee during her morning round and remember everyones' orders down to a tee. It is her extremely gregarious that's earned her an antagonistic mass of haters as well, and it may or may not also have something to do with the video that leaked last year of her [doing something problematic]...
TL;DR: she's an absolute dear who'll greet you with a smile every morning but won't hesitate to square you the fuck up if you take advantage of her compassion.
Warning Sign — vesper.
She swears she doesn't have a personal agenda against your sorry ass but it's really difficult to tell with her sparkling eyes and amused simper, the dice she mindlessly tosses from one hand to another before rolling them onto the wooden board sitting in between both of you and smiling, "Chess is my game, love." The frayed thread doesn't tie up, do they? And yet, you believe her like the fool you are, flowing like putty in her hands while she pulls on your ripped edges. You almost make it too easy, to be honest.
TL;DR: the two-faced manipulative freak who's 100% out to get to you behind your back - and no, for the last time, it doesn't matter what you didn't do.

and if this is what love means
[div class="storyclose"]
There's a reason why every King needs a Queen to rule with propriety, and said "reason" is found within a simple, black-and-white game of classic chess: the King needs his Queen to survive. She runs the show behind the scenes and she protects him when his own servants refuse to submit, refuse to bow.
That's... how every classic fairytale goes, right?
The fairytale our parents promised us late at night when they tucked us in bed, kissed us goodnight. If only they'd told us how cruel the real world is instead of drilling our heads with fruitless ideas of love and happy endings. As Ebenezer Scrooge once said, and I quote: "Bah, humbug!"
It's nonsense.
In the real world, women are seen as inferior, lowly beings. They're merely trophies to wealthy business tycoons; and more women you have on-hand, the more polished your name and status become. But it's not just women they want, oh no, no, no: it's too easy to buy a hooker from one of those shady brothels, there's no way you can impress anyone with just those. People want to see wives: they want to see women devoting their lives for your sorry-ass, kissing your feet after you return from work tired and irritable.
It's sad but it's our reality.
The situation has definitely improved over the years but who's to say what transpires, what conspires behind the drawn curtains? Because amongst the upper class, the vile act of arranged marriage is still imposed on innocent youngsters for the sake of conceiving an heir and running the family business!
Money can buy you happiness - fuck anyone who says so otherwise. But love and loyalty? From someone who isn't lacking in fortunes either?
Well... we can put that to test right here.
Right now.

Violent Delight — truthofself
With mysterious eyes that glint like the edge of a blade, and a powerful personality that asks—no, demands your attention, he's the worst and simultaneously, the best thing that could ever happen to you - it all depends on the situation you catch him in. While he can be playful and charming, the other side of the coin is just as deadly and lethal: he has a hard time accepting errors and moments that don't go exactly according to plan so you best play along. Don't want to end up like the last man that double-crossed him, right? No one ever heard about that because that's just the upper hand money can buy you.
TL;DR: he's the impatient fucker with anger management issues.
Capricious Prince — izayoiix
The epitome of every Jason and Brian in your everyday, low-budget teen romance movies: he's the man every girl dreams of marrying at one point in her life, and we don't blame them. Who wouldn't fall for that megawatt smile and chiselled jaw? He's been confessed to by countless people and praised all his life, it's not surprising that he allowed it to get to his head. Which is exactly why he wants a partner that can level him and isn't afraid to tell them exactly where they're lacking and how they can "better" themselves. Strap in, girls and boys, and get ready for the biggest guilt-trip of your life.
TL;DR: he's a patronizing asshole disguised as Prince Charming.
Fickle Abstraction — VALEN T.
It's what growing up as the youngest in an extremely successful household does to you: makes you question whether you'll ever be something other than a diamond that reflects your siblings' achievements, whether you'd swap lives with the next pedestrian you see behind the seven-figure fast car you bought last weekend, whether you even deserve to stand amidst your magnate family members, your mogul siblings, your own parents. It started sometime in his mid-teen years: when he shut off his emotions, turned the switch off to his own wants and desires and faced the girl his parents set him up with. "Will you love me?" He'd kissed her for good measure, "Always." (They lasted about two weeks.)
TL;DR: he's the compulsive liar with verbal skills that could rival a door-to-door salesman selling essential oils to soccer moms in the suburb.
Golden Keeper — DarkiusHeavenstein
He really should've paid attention in seventh grade when one of his classmates gave that presentation on how money is an unfaithful lover: it will take you wherever you wish, give you the taste of freedom but never let you take the wheel because... little did his thirteen-year-old self know, at the age of ___, he'd end up signing a metaphorical slave contract, selling his entire self off to acquiring more, accumulating more. It doesn't matter how he gets his dirty little hands on it; be it by blackmailing smaller businesses, drafting misleading contracts, seducing CEOs - he'll do whatever it takes because after all, according to him and what he proudly tells his co-workers over drinks, if you can still count your money, you aren't rich enough.
TL;DR: he's the sneaky, sleazy, sly gold-digger who'll be eyeing your watch before deciding if you're worth "pursuing."
Holographic Flashbang — thirteen
She's the icon that not only the women in our society need, but the men equally so if not more: the perfect example of harmonious and professional, having found an equilibrium between balancing her personal life and devoting time to herself while maintaining a hectic, full-bodied career at the same time. You won't ever catch her slipping on camera and her Twitter feed is filled with nothing but positivity. She's very open about her past life and struggles, letting every girl in the world know that it is possible to start from scratch and build an empire. Patience is key and she's got tons.
TL;DR: she's a self-made queen who frequently holds seminars to promote mental health and well-being.
Aeonian Dream — erzulie
Born with a silver spoon shoved three metres up her ass, to say she's a little bit of a brat would be a major understatement. From a young age, her parents spoiled her and bought her her every wish before it even managed to leave her lips - and it doesn't help that she was their only child and constantly hogging the spotlight to all their attention. They overlooked her increasingly disrespectful attitude, blinded by rose-coloured glasses of love and splurged and splurged on their only daughter. Weekend trips to Tokyo, Spain, Bordeaux weren't uncommon either. Neither were seeing her Snap stories filled with pictures of customized jet planes, holy fuck.
TL;DR: she's daddy's precious princess with a god complex bigger than Faye Dunaway's ego.
Iridescent Riptide — @arbiter
Referred to by the masses as Nation's Fairy and Nation's Little Sister, she might actually be some kind of God-descent angel sent to motivate the rest of humanity to improve on some of their "less gallant" qualities - as she likes to phrase it. She's a sweetheart who'll bring her entire precinct floor coffee during her morning round and remember everyones' orders down to a tee. It is her extremely gregarious that's earned her an antagonistic mass of haters as well, and it may or may not also have something to do with the video that leaked last year of her [doing something problematic]...
TL;DR: she's an absolute dear who'll greet you with a smile every morning but won't hesitate to square you the fuck up if you take advantage of her compassion.
Warning Sign — vesper.
She swears she doesn't have a personal agenda against your sorry ass but it's really difficult to tell with her sparkling eyes and amused simper, the dice she mindlessly tosses from one hand to another before rolling them onto the wooden board sitting in between both of you and smiling, "Chess is my game, love." The frayed thread doesn't tie up, do they? And yet, you believe her like the fool you are, flowing like putty in her hands while she pulls on your ripped edges. You almost make it too easy, to be honest.
TL;DR: the two-faced manipulative freak who's 100% out to get to you behind your back - and no, for the last time, it doesn't matter what you didn't do.

Don't want to end up like the last man that double-crossed him, right? No one ever heard about that because that's just the upper hand money can buy you.
TL;DR: he's the impatient fucker with anger management issues.
Capricious Prince — izayoiix
The epitome of every Jason and Brian in your everyday, low-budget teen romance movies: he's the man every girl dreams of marrying at one point in her life, and we don't blame them. Who wouldn't fall for that megawatt smile and chiselled jaw? He's been confessed to by countless people and praised all his life, it's not surprising that he allowed it to get to his head. Which is exactly why he wants a partner that can level him and isn't afraid to tell them exactly where they're lacking and how they can "better" themselves. Strap in, girls and boys, and get ready for the biggest guilt-trip of your life.
TL;DR: he's a patronizing asshole disguised as Prince Charming.
Fickle Abstraction — VALEN T.
It's what growing up as the youngest in an extremely successful household does to you: makes you question whether you'll ever be something other than a diamond that reflects your siblings' achievements, whether you'd swap lives with the next pedestrian you see behind the seven-figure fast car you bought last weekend, whether you even deserve to stand amidst your magnate family members, your mogul siblings, your own parents. It started sometime in his mid-teen years: when he shut off his emotions, turned the switch off to his own wants and desires and faced the girl his parents set him up with. "Will you love me?" He'd kissed her for good measure, "Always." (They lasted about two weeks.)
TL;DR: he's the compulsive liar with verbal skills that could rival a door-to-door salesman selling essential oils to soccer moms in the suburb.
Golden Keeper — DarkiusHeavenstein
He really should've paid attention in seventh grade when one of his classmates gave that presentation on how money is an unfaithful lover: it will take you wherever you wish, give you the taste of freedom but never let you take the wheel because... little did his thirteen-year-old self know, at the age of ___, he'd end up signing a metaphorical slave contract, selling his entire self off to acquiring more, accumulating more. It doesn't matter how he gets his dirty little hands on it; be it by blackmailing smaller businesses, drafting misleading contracts, seducing CEOs - he'll do whatever it takes because after all, according to him and what he proudly tells his co-workers over drinks, if you can still count your money, you aren't rich enough.
TL;DR: he's the sneaky, sleazy, sly gold-digger who'll be eyeing your watch before deciding if you're worth "pursuing."
Holographic Flashbang — thirteen
She's the icon that not only the women in our society need, but the men equally so if not more: the perfect example of harmonious and professional, having found an equilibrium between balancing her personal life and devoting time to herself while maintaining a hectic, full-bodied career at the same time. You won't ever catch her slipping on camera and her Twitter feed is filled with nothing but positivity. She's very open about her past life and struggles, letting every girl in the world know that it is possible to start from scratch and build an empire. Patience is key and she's got tons.
TL;DR: she's a self-made queen who frequently holds seminars to promote mental health and well-being.
Aeonian Dream — erzulie
Born with a silver spoon shoved three metres up her ass, to say she's a little bit of a brat would be a major understatement. From a young age, her parents spoiled her and bought her her every wish before it even managed to leave her lips - and it doesn't help that she was their only child and constantly hogging the spotlight to all their attention. They overlooked her increasingly disrespectful attitude, blinded by rose-coloured glasses of love and splurged and splurged on their only daughter. Weekend trips to Tokyo, Spain, Bordeaux weren't uncommon either. Neither were seeing her Snap stories filled with pictures of customized jet planes, holy fuck.
TL;DR: she's daddy's precious princess with a god complex bigger than Faye Dunaway's ego.
Iridescent Riptide — @arbiter
Referred to by the masses as Nation's Fairy and Nation's Little Sister, she might actually be some kind of God-descent angel sent to motivate the rest of humanity to improve on some of their "less gallant" qualities - as she likes to phrase it. She's a sweetheart who'll bring her entire precinct floor coffee during her morning round and remember everyones' orders down to a tee. It is her extremely gregarious that's earned her an antagonistic mass of haters as well, and it may or may not also have something to do with the video that leaked last year of her [doing something problematic]...
TL;DR: she's an absolute dear who'll greet you with a smile every morning but won't hesitate to square you the fuck up if you take advantage of her compassion.
Warning Sign — vesper.
She swears she doesn't have a personal agenda against your sorry ass but it's really difficult to tell with her sparkling eyes and amused simper, the dice she mindlessly tosses from one hand to another before rolling them onto the wooden board sitting in between both of you and smiling, "Chess is my game, love." The frayed thread doesn't tie up, do they? And yet, you believe her like the fool you are, flowing like putty in her hands while she pulls on your ripped edges. You almost make it too easy, to be honest.
TL;DR: the two-faced manipulative freak who's 100% out to get to you behind your back - and no, for the last time, it doesn't matter what you didn't do.
