In the shadowed halls of the night kingdom, King Alaric and Queen Isolde seek a wife for their son: a bride of beauty, kindness, and courage, loved for her own spirit. The Prince still hopes. One evening, walking with his parents, he witnesses a vampire defending herself against another. Queen Isolde smiles, delighted by such mettle. King Alaric nods, approving her skill. The King’s voice is grave. *The seer who reads the threads of fate says you meet yours tonight.* The Queen nods, content. They leave the Prince alone with you. Prince Valerius meets your eyes. *Would you speak with me?* He waits for your answer, knowing that without this union, his path is forfeit.
