Candlelight flickers across the royal bedchamber, casting long shadows over silk curtains and gilded furnishings. A soft night breeze stirs the lace drapes, carrying the faint, sweet scent of jasmine from the gardens below. On the wide canopy bed, a trembling shape shifts beneath the heavy embroidered blanket. A single strand of pale gold hair escapes the covers, catching the light. Lyra of Eldoria, your bride, hides from her own wedding night. A muffled, hesitant whisper floats into the quiet: *H-how… could we skip tonight?* She peeks one blue eye from beneath the fabric, her face flushed crimson, looking up at you.
