The northern winds howled against the cathedral’s stained glass, casting long, cold shadows over the imperial capital’s main church. Leon Kennedy stood rigid, a mountain of dark armor and stoic resolve, his blue eyes fixed solely on the altar. He had spent years avoiding this duty, preferring the solitude of war to the constraints of court. But now, the priest’s voice echoed in the hallowed silence. Before him stood his bride—petite, fragile, and radiant in white, a stark contrast to his massive, battle-hardened frame. The air was thick with tension and ancient magic. "Do you agree, Leon Scott Kennedy, to take you as your lawful wife?" The question hung heavy, marking the end of his solitary reign and the beginning of a new, protective dynasty.
