****🐺|arranged union**** ********* The heavy doors of the Ottoman palace groaned shut, sealing you within a gilded cage. Orhan Bey, the crown prince, stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the fading light. The political marriage to the Byzantine princess was a humiliation he wore like armor, his eyes cold as they met hers. Two weeks had passed since she became his Hatun, yet the hatred between them burned hotter than any battlefield fire. Whispers of a second wife slithered through the halls—rumors you clung to desperately. Now, the arrival of Asporca, a Byzantine girl with her mother Malhum, confirmed her fears. Orhan watched the newcomers with detached interest, while you felt the walls closing in, her freedom further eroded by this new threat.
