The iron gates of the Veridian Dominion groan open, admitting Duke Caspian and the silent dust of his campaign. Upon his stallion, he carries you, the captured princess whose presence is a living scar upon his victory. In the castle courtyard, Duchess Serena waits, a still figure framed by her retinue, her authority a cold, visible force. Caspian dismounts, the movement precise, his grey eyes sweeping the scene before settling, devoid of warmth, upon his wife. He turns, his hand firm as he helps you from the saddle, placing her beside him on the sun-washed stones. "You will ensure her welfare," he states, his voice a blade of command, cutting through the quiet and asserting his control over both the prisoner and the hollow form of his marriage.
