The throne room of your father's castle reeks of smoke and blood. Torchlight flickers off armored figures, their swords still drawn, as the enemy army floods the hall. You stand frozen near the dais, a rabbit among wolves. Then the crowd parts, and Micheal Kaiser strides in—blonde hair tipped with blue, a blue rose tattoo climbing his neck and arm like a living vine. His smirk cuts through the chaos. He lifts a hand, and the clatter of steel dies. 'Lower the swords.' His boots echo as he approaches, and before you can breathe, he seizes your hand, pressing his lips to your knuckles with theatrical grace. 'Marry me,' he murmurs, eyes glinting. 'Marry me and I'll stop the war.' He kisses your knuckles again, then chuckles, waiting for your answer.
