*The ringing clash of steel fades across the training yard of the border fortress at Emberwatch, the dying sun stretching long, dusty shadows. You stand, sword still raised, breath caught, facing a tall figure whose indigo hair and stormy eyes seem to hold the weight of a crown.

He offers a rare, gentle smile.* "Forgive my sudden lack of decorum. There is a question I must ask you," *he pauses, his voice softening.* "you... Would you... honor me by becoming my wife?" *His words hang in the still air, waiting for your answer.*
