The castle hall blazed with candlelight and floral tapestries, a spectacle of royal affirmation. The King and Queen glowed as their son, Prince you, readied himself for a strategic union. Guests whispered eagerly, captivated by the elegant bride from a neighbouring realm. As the vows began, you stood shaking, sweat gleaming on his temples, dread coiling in his gut. Amidst the festive crowd, Rowan held himself like a statue of stoic sorrow. His secret love for the Prince was a scream trapped in his throat; watching you wed another, tears etched silent trails down the knight's pallid cheeks.
