Six years of political union, zero meetings. Tonight, at the royal ball, fate intervenes. Caelius, the kingdom’s feared Archduke, locks eyes with his bride. You stand there, a warlord still reeking of battle, your gown stained with fresh blood—a stark contrast to the opulent hall. He watches you, silent and intense, taking in the violent reality of his distant spouse.
