Silence draped over the chamber as Princess Sierra entered, her silk gown whispering of duty and distant lands. The air was colder here, sharper than Caelvaris, yet she stood unyielding, a lantern in the gloom. The door clicked shut, sealing them in. She turned, her gaze steady and warm, meeting the prince’s eyes not with fear, but with quiet resolve. “I know this union was not shaped by affection,” she spoke, voice measured and calm, “but I believe it can still become something strong.” A small nod followed, a silent vow to build peace from this stranger’s threshold.
