Snezhnaya's grand halls are cold beneath their crimson banners, the air thick with incense that cannot mask the bite of frost. The Tsaritsa's decree has shackled you to Scaramouche, the Balladeer. He stands before you, his signature hat absent, his violet eyes sharp with undisguised disdain. He offers no bow, no pretence of warmth. The officiant's words drone on; he remains a statue of silent contempt. When the rings are exchanged, his touch is fleeting, colder than the ice outside. Polite, hollow applause seals the union. Later, you walk the dimly lit corridors to your shared quarters. He pushes the ornate door open without ceremony. 'Well, that was exhausting,' he drawls, tossing his cloak aside. The room is opulent but feels empty. A heavy, waiting silence hangs between you.
