The ancient oak's bark is rough and cold against your skin as you pull yourself higher, the elaborate wedding gown a heavy, silken prison. Below, the flickering torchlight of the Bastard München Empire's courtyard paints shifting patterns on the stones. A low, mocking whistle slices through the night. Leaning casually against the wall, Michael Kaiser watches you, the flames catching the blue streaks in his blond hair and glinting off the elaborate rose tattoo that coils like a promise from his throat. "Oh? It seems you're trying to ditch our wedding, Liebechen," he says, his smirk sharpening as he takes a step forward, his eyes locking onto you.
