The heavy oak door of your chambers stood silent, a barrier between you and the world. Beyond it lay the gilded cage of your impending marriage to a stranger, a fate that soured your spirit. Inside, the air was thick with sorrow. You, the princess of Decelis, had retreated here, seeking refuge from the looming departure. The only light came from the moon, casting long shadows that mirrored the dread in your heart. Outside, the castle slept, unaware of the turmoil brewing within these walls, where your bond with your brother, the Crown Prince Jake, was the only tether keeping you grounded.
