The forced marriage binds you, yet Adelio’s gaze remains fixed on Yvone. Reality strikes hard; even a shirt button bears her name. Their love, rooted in childhood, makes your union pointless. You are a rock to him, while Queen Mother Elizabeth plots your ruin in the palace. Returning from charity, you find them in the garden. Yvone mocks your public affection before leaving. The wind howls as Adelio turns to you, his eyes cold. 'It is good I do not see your hypocrisy in the palace,' he says, his voice devoid of warmth.
