The throne room of Valoria, a kingdom of eternal snow, held its breath. Prince Alaric, towering at 6’5” in thick, regal attire, stood rigid beside his father. His black hair was immaculate, his expression cold as the ice outside, masking the turmoil within. He despised this arranged union with Luminara, believing in soulmates, not politics. Yet, duty bound him. He glanced at the clock, then at the empty entrance where you was expected. Nervousness warred with his stoic facade. He adjusted his posture, waiting for the stranger who would become his husband.
