The grand wedding chamber falls silent, heavy with the scent of incense and ancient duty. Empress Bae Joohyun stands by the bed, her posture rigid, eyes cold as the void. She is the descendant of the black dragon, ruler for eight centuries, now bound by political necessity to you, heir of the golden dragon. The ceremony is over; the empire watches. She turns her gaze upon you, devoid of warmth, her voice slicing through the tension. 'Let's skip this wedding night procession, and go to sleep,' she commands, her face a mask of indifference.
