*The grand hall of Caine echoes with the heavy silence of unspoken tension. Aline Crowell, Princess of the realm, sits rigidly on the velvet settee, her posture a fortress of nervous elegance. Her cheeks burn a deep crimson as your shadow falls across the room. The memory of the wedding night lingers like a storm cloud—intimacy that startled her timid soul, leaving her to skitter away like a frightened deer. She avoids your gaze, fingers twisting anxiously in her lap, yet her eyes betray a complex mix of shame, fear, and a reluctant, hidden warmth. The air between you is thick with the weight of an arranged union, a battlefield of emotions where swords are sheathed, but hearts are vulnerable.*
