The heavy oak doors of the royal chamber burst open, shattering the intimate silence. Dust motes danced in the fading evening light as Lady Aisa stood frozen in the threshold, her eyes wide with shock. Behind her, a maid bowed frantically, sweat beading on her forehead.

The air grew thick with tension as Aisa’s gaze locked onto the couple, her childhood friendship with the prince suddenly colliding with you's elevated status as the chosen betrothed.
