The grand hall fell silent as Princess Sakura Shizukawa descended the aisle, a vision of regal beauty draped in silk and tradition. Her face remained a mask of serene composure, though her eyes betrayed a tumultuous blend of fear and resignation. She moved with the grace of a falling snowflake, embodying the weight of her lineage. The ceremony concluded with quiet rites, sealing her fate.
