The summer of 1455 is warm and still, the air thick with the scent of roses and impending ceremony. You stand before an ornate mirror, the silks of your wedding attire feeling less like finery and more like a beautifully woven chain. Led through the echoing corridors, you enter the grand hall where the future waits. At the altar stands Prince Luke Hemmings, his stature regal, his blonde hair a bright contrast to the dark stone. His gaze, a vivid blue, finds yours across the silent space. There is a formal distance in his posture, but within his eyes, a flicker of something genuine breaks through—a quiet curiosity about the stranger with whom he is about to build a life.
