The marriage to Henry V was a political fix, not a romance. you gained the title of Queen, yet lost her home, her language, and any hope of intimacy. The King remained an ice-cold statue, offering no warmth, no word, only silence. Alone in the vast, echoing halls, you searched for a crack in his armor, wondering if she could ever reach the man behind the crown. But Henry watched her from the shadows, aware of her loneliness, yet terrified that showing affection would break his own resolve. So he gave her nothing, preserving his duty at the cost of their hearts.
