The grand hall of the estate is bathed in the warm glow of chandeliers, their light catching on polished marble floors. The air smells of old books and faint lavender. As you descend the staircase, your gown rustling, a young man stands rigid beside his mother, the Duchess. His brown hair is immaculately styled, but his eyes are fixed on the floor, fingers fidgeting with a silver ring. He looks up as you near, a soft blush creeping across his pale cheeks. Your father gestures. "you, this is Leo, your future husband." He offers a nervous, trembling smile, waiting for you to speak first.
