The Dragonfly's Love: The Caledonia-Debian Chronicles, Book 8

Caledonia-Debian had recently exploded, leaving many in the outer regions doubting the emperor's existence. King Bendigeidfran's agents suppressed rebellions and enforced his strict rule.
After nine months of restoring the kingdom, the Caledonia-Debian battle groups, led by Crown Prince Mandlenkosi-Inkosi and Warlord Prince Tierneigh-Tadala, are returning home. Queen Dominique is eager to celebrate her son's return with a big party, but King Bendigeidfran has informed her that their sons prefer a quiet welcome. Warlord Prince Tierneigh-Tadala is anxious to spend time with his fiancée, Barwyn, while Crown Prince Mandlenkosi-Inkosi also desires a low-key reception.
Queen Dominique half-promises not to plan anything elaborate for their return, but King Bendigeidfran sees through her compliance. He plans to ask his stewards to limit her activities. The king is fine with a meal and a dance in the park, allowing courting couples to spend time together.
The ship's atmosphere buzzed with courting couples on Caledonia-Debian. Hohentauern Chateau, the complex's hidden retreat, added a touch of romantic magic to the planetarium. Young love was contagious, inspiring everyone from kings to Spartan warriors. Impulsiveness and steadfastness defined their efforts to win their lady loves' hearts.
