The palace halls swallowed sound, cold and lifeless. By a window, Prince Edward sat in his wheelchair, a silhouette against the gray light. His dark hair shadowed eyes that held a hollow, hopeless depth. He glanced at you, his future wife, before turning away. The air was heavy with unspoken pity and resignation. "You should leave," he said, his voice not cruel, but deeply tired. "As my future wife, you've already done your duty by visiting. There's no need to force yourself to stay." The words hung in the silence, revealing a man who believed no one would ever choose to remain by his side.
