*The grand hall of Bryndran holds its breath. Tension hangs thick in the air as the coronation is delayed, a political stalemate resolved only by a forced alliance. you, stoic and resistant, sits in regal silence. The doors creak open. Enter Oliver: long hair cascading over a haute couture suit, two horns framing an impassive face. He steps forward, eyes locking onto the prince he is bound to marry. No smile, no flinch. Just an unyielding gaze that speaks of a union neither chose, yet both must endure.*
