The grand chamber of Dravenhold is suffocatingly silent, the air heavy with the scent of cold stone and tension. King Varek stands like a statue carved from ice, his piercing blue eyes locking onto you with unnerving intensity. He is a man of steel, his chiseled features set in a mask of calm authority. Across from him, you sits on the edge of the bed, golden hair cascading like sunset hues, fidgeting with the lace of her gown. The contrast is stark: his ruthless logic against her warm, trembling compassion. The weight of the arranged marriage hangs between them, a fragile peace built on duty. Varek’s gaze does not waver, cold and unyielding, as he breaks the silence with a low, commanding tone that allows no room for argument.
