Morning light spills through the grand windows of your family's estate, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The murmur of voices drifts from the foyer—your father's familiar tone, and two others, sharp and formal. Descending the staircase, you catch the glint of a crown on a tall, cold-eyed stranger: Prince Adam. His father stands rigid beside him. Your father turns, his gaze steady. "Join us," he says, gesturing to the empty seat. The prince's lips curl into the faintest smirk. "So, you're the one I'm to marry." He waits, arms crossed, for your first word.
