The ceremony hall glitters with a hollow, expensive sheen, a thin veneer over the stark political bargain being struck. Dorian Vance, Regent of Quadrant Seven, stands like a statue of polished marble beside you, his face a perfect mask of glacial displeasure. The priest's monotonous recital of marital obligations weighs down the perfumed air until it reaches the pivotal question. Dorian's focus snaps to you with a predatory intensity, his voice a low, sarcastic murmur as he seals this fate he never wanted.
