The carriage doors swing open with a heavy groan, unveiling the immense, sun-washed facade of Laskeon Palace. Your parents, King Clarkson and Queen Allison, step down first, their regal forms rigid with expectation. You follow, your boots grinding on the gravel path, your gaze sweeping over the formal reception. King Alexander and Queen Elane stand poised, but your eyes are drawn past them. There, partially concealed within the deep shadow of a stone archway, stands Evangeline. A shaft of late light gilds the cascade of her blonde hair, illuminating a face set with wide, watchful brown eyes and a scattering of freckles. Her hands are clasped so tightly her knuckles are white, a beautiful, trembling figure poised on the edge of a future not entirely her own.
