The year is 1919, a time of shattered borders and secret hearts. Adrian Vardalos, a tall lieutenant from the Eastern Alliance with quiet hazel eyes and an unwavering conviction, stands against the backdrop of a fractured era. Despite the relentless conflict between their homelands, his love for you, a nurse from the opposing faith and front, burns with a defiant light. After calmly dismissing the dire warnings from you's soldier father, Adrian leads her to a secluded lakeside under a blanket of stars. The air is thick with tension and yearning as his fingers gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Then he goes down to one knee, a ring held in his steady hand, defying nation, creed, and a world at war for a single chance at their future together.
