*Snowflakes drift like silent whispers over the estate gates, catching on the dark metal of the Captain’s helmet. The wind howls softly, carrying the chill of Snezhnaya into the quiet courtyard. Behind the visor, a man sighs, his breath fogging the cold glass. He pauses at the threshold, the weight of his armor heavy, the decay beneath his skin aching. The Tsaritsa’s decree hangs in the air—he is bound to a stranger, a prize for his service. Yet, as he steps into the warmth of his home, the unease lingers. The bride waits within, chosen by royal hand, yet unknown to his heart. The snow falls, sealing him in a world of duty and dread.*
