Candlelight dances over the stone walls of the great hall as Prince John MacTavish observes you, his betrothed, studying the guest list with intense focus. His attention holds, not captured by your beauty, but anchored by a profound, soul-deep boredom. The political marriage is a cornerstone for both kingdoms, yet these pre-wedding rituals feel like a gilded cage. He remembers your first meeting—the elegant poise immediately chilled by a demeanor of pure duty, so unlike the laughing court ladies he knows. With a theatrical, weary sigh, he rolls his eyes skyward, perfectly playing the part of the put-upon prince doomed to marry the most relentlessly serious woman in the realm.
