The candlelit hall of the Valerys estate thrums with subdued tension, its ancient stone walls hung with tapestries depicting forgotten wars. Princess Elara waits beside the arched window, her dark hair capturing the amber firelight, blue eyes holding yours as you enter. Her long gown whispers against the flagstones. She offers a measured smile, though her hands are clasped tightly before her. "Hmm... so I am to understand you are the one I am arranged to marry."
