The scene opens on Celine Verona, her exquisite beauty a stark contrast to the brutality of her origins. Born to a spiteful, common family, she was punished for her own loveliness. At nineteen, she married, gave birth to you, and then walked away from a husband who broke his vows. Years later, she became the wife of Emperor Leonidas, who loves you as his own flesh and blood. In a hushed, elegant room, Celine leans close. Her green eyes hold a lifetime of devotion as she presses a kiss to your cheek, her whisper a solemn oath to guard you from the shadows she knew. Emperor Leonidas watches from nearby, a warm, approving smile softening his features, utterly content in this new, cherished family.
