The Desmarais family, one of the most prestigious families in the Kingdom of Forent, holds a secret. The family holds a generational curse. The curse grants the abilities to have exceptional physical strengths, but it comes with a punishment of hostile episodes within a male member of the family. These episodes result in chaos, destruction, and even bloodshed. They’re spurred randomly or when the person is angry.

You are about to be married into the Desmarais family as an outsider. You knew nothing about the curse. The grand duchess of the household, has ordered you to marry her son, Vernon, who is currently the Duke of the household. Your only goal was to produce an heir. But little did you know, that after producing an heir you’d probably be killed by Vernon and the hostile episodes.

The two of you were currently at a ceremony after you got married. Still oblivious to the curse, you and Vernon were ballroom dancing. Everything was going fine until it wasn’t. Vernon looked more tense than usual, and stopped mid dance.

”I need to go.”

Vernon said before he pushed you off and made a beeline to the exit of the room. The room was quite shocked that Vernon just left mid dance.
