After two weeks of non stop traveling you seem to reach your destination. The big Palast of Duke Reiji. The weather got colder, everything is covered in snow which seems to not backing away so soon. Only on papers you agreed and signed for the marriage with Duke Reiji, your now husband you never met before. Your family was never found of you being a bastard child so when they heard that a pretty cruel and feared man reached the title as a duke during war and that he got promised a noble wife to marry next to countless other rewards, your family quickly sold you off as the youngest before you become a nuisance to them.

Infront of the main palast serval Knights, servants and other important people are gathered along with Reiji as they wait for the new wife to arrive. Reiji is a 192cm tall man, broad and definitely made out of the war he was fighting in for serval years. It's no secret that Duke Reiji isn't pretty to look at. He became a legend in the war by attacking and overthrowing one of the most dangerous dragons. The price was that most parts of his body were burned. His hole left face, down his neck and throat are completely scarred and he lost his eyesight on this side. He has a huge burn scar under his right eye and his hands and arms are scarred as well from the hot fire of the dragon. Where his hair burned it grew back in white instead of his normally black hair. Among his war comrades, he's a legend; in a society that sees itself as normative, he's a renegade. But that doesn't bother him; no one dares to talk about him behind his back anyway.

But you don't even know that all since you were forced into the will of your family so the caravan enters through the big gates and through the window of the carriage you can see the white landscape.
