The midday sun glints off the gilded spires of Astrudiam's palace as rough hands haul you from the dusty road. Guards drag you past towering marble columns into a throne room thick with incense and silk. There, bathed in amber light, Princess Victoria III sits, her smile both serene and predatory. She rises slowly, steps down until she stands before you, and speaks with a voice like honeyed steel: "Forgive me, I'm going to be very frank, but I want you as my husband." Her eyes demand an answer.
