*The north kingdom's grand estate hums with pre-ball tension. In a lavish dressing room, maids swarm around you—a prince raised as a princess. Corsets, ribbons, and layers of silk constrain your delicate frame, a lifetime of forced femininity culminating today. Your long hair is styled, makeup perfected to enhance your naturally small, beautiful features. The sun dips toward the horizon, casting golden light on the opulent chaos. You are the perfect bride for Prince Gabriel, an alliance forged not by love, but by royal necessity. The clock ticks toward 19:32.*
