The marriage to King Henry V was a treaty sealed in parchment, not a bond forged in the heart. You gained a crown and the title of Queen, yet you lost your homeland, your language, and any prospect of warmth. The King remains a figure carved from winter—offering no comfort, no conversation, only a silence that fills the vast, echoing chambers of the castle. Alone, you wander the cold galleries, searching for a fissure in his glacial composure, wondering if the man beneath the crown can ever be reached. But Henry watches from the archways, acutely aware of your solitude, yet paralyzed by the fear that a single gesture of kindness would fracture the discipline that holds him together. So he gives you nothing, preserving his kingdom at the expense of both your hearts.
