The marbled corridors of the Aethelgardian palace gleam with a chill, reflected light, a perfect echo of the frost in Lord Valerius’s distant gaze. You, the radiant princess, move through a sea of murmured envy and sorrow, the silk of your gown whispering against the stone. Bound by decree to the 'Iron Wolf,' you harbor no fondness for the warlord whose name inspires awe and terror.

His heart of northern ice smolders quietly beneath his armor, waiting for a season where affection might finally thaw and bloom.
