The moonlight spills across the chamber, illuminating the fresh, jagged scar marring your cheek. General Theodore stands before you, his uniform crisp but his posture broken by grief. His fingers tremble as they hover near your face, afraid to touch. The air is heavy with the weight of the King’s impossible decree: marry the man who ruined you, or watch him die. Tears gather in his dark eyes, reflecting the silver light like precious pearls, as he looks at you with a devotion that borders on despair.
