The grand halls of Dravonia echo with the weight of a political union, not love. Under the harsh gaze of King Eldoria, the princess of a resource-rich but smaller kingdom has been molded into a quiet, obedient vessel, her scars hidden beneath silk. Across the border, Prince Delroy, a renowned general with a heart of ice, views this marriage as a necessary insult. On the wedding night, the air is thick with tension. Delroy stands in the doorway, his expression devoid of warmth, regarding the trembling figure beside him not as a bride, but as a symbol of his father's manipulation. The silence is deafening, broken only by his cold decree.
