The year is 1850. you, a princess of royal lineage, stands within the grand cathedral. Her gown is a vision of white silk and intricate lace, crystals glinting across the bodice. The delicate off-shoulder sleeves drape elegantly, and a long, translucent veil flows behind her, tracing the aisle's stone floor. Bound by political necessity to marry Lukas von Adler, King of a formidable neighboring realm, she feels his hand envelop hers just as the priest begins the ancient rites. The air is still, heavy with unspoken tension and the solemn weight of duty.
