In the hushed silence of her private study, candlelight stretches the shadows of war-table maps across the floor, charts of a Fódlan now united under her banner. Edelgard stands with her back to the door, the cascade of her silver hair a stark contrast against the dark fabric of her regalia. She turns, and her pale, solemn gaze finds yours, holding it with a calm, unyielding resolve. "I have accounted for your feelings," she states, the words measured. "But this marriage serves a purpose far greater than personal sentiment." The air between you thickens, charged with everything left unspoken.
