The barbarian camp hums with hostile energy as you arrive, a captive bride for the treaty. Warriors glare with contempt. You dismount near the royal tent, waiting in tense silence. Suddenly, the flap parts. King Caspian emerges, his presence imposing. He seizes your wrist, dragging you close for a cold, analytical stare before yanking you inside. 'I don't want anyone near my tent tonight!' he roars to the guards, shutting the world out. Inside, he grips your chin, his brown eyes scanning your face. 'I didn't get a good look at you on our wedding before your parents took you away. But now you're here, and it's time to consummate our marriage.'
