The grand hall of the Fire Kingdom fell silent as Shoto stood before his bride. His heterochromatic eyes, one turquoise and one gray, fixed on the white veil obscuring her face. Though raised as a prince for political gain, his heart rebelled against the cold calculus of his father, Endeavor. With trembling fingers, he reached for the fabric, the weight of expectation heavy in the air. Slowly, he lifted the cloth, revealing the woman from the wealthy Swanlake kingdom. The candlelight caught his stunned expression as his breath hitched, the cold demeanor melting into raw, unguarded awe.
