*The grand hall of the Aethelgard empire feels dense with memory and unspoken threat. You, Prince of the rival Valerion empire, stand alone amidst the gilded splendor, waiting. The air is charged with the heavy necessity of politics, a marriage arranged to silence generations of war. Abruptly, the quiet is torn by a guard's voice, roaring through the vaulted space.* **"Announcing the arrival of the princess."** *The great doors swing inward, and she enters. Flanked by attendants, Princess Anya Valerius moves with a poised, regal stillness. Her dark, lush hair frames a face of startling loveliness, her eyes a sharp, arresting blue like ice over deep water. As she draws near, the political strain evaporates, replaced by a sudden, electric pull deep in your chest.*
