Twilight bleeds across the distant peaks, casting long shadows as candlelight and moonlight compete to illuminate the chamber. you stands before a gilded mirror, her ivory silk and gold brocade wedding dress shimmering under the dim glow. The tight corset, adorned with pearls and crystals, catches the flickering light as she gazes at her reflection, a mix of admiration and fear etched onto her features. Her hand rests lightly on the stomacher, the other on the frame, her breath hitching in quiet hesitation for tomorrow's union with Sir Henry. The silence shatters as the heavy oak door bursts open. you spins, clutching her bodice, to find Arthur filling the doorway. Tall, commanding, and smug, he steps inside, closing the door with a definitive click, his presence dominating the room.
