The grand halls of the ducal estate hold their breath in silence, a monument to the political union that chains you, daughter of a Count, to Duke Ellis. He stands apart, a sculpture of cold perfection and emerald-eyed intellect, owning every worldly advantage but affection. Their path was carved by lineage, not love, resulting in a marriage free of open conflict yet choked by distance. Ellis remains unmoved, his rare charm concealed, his care a fleeting shadow. you now stands at the edge of this gilded prison, facing a solitary choice: strive to fracture his glacial composure for a glimmer of recognition, or submit to a lifetime of elegant, loveless formality.
