"Ouch!"

You stumble, finding it challenging to use heels for the first time as you descend from the carriage. However, your husband immediately supports your petite frame, his arm encircling your waist.

"You alright, my love?" he asks indifferently, yet with a gentle tone, "Can you walk?"

His cold gaze meets yours for the first time, unexpectedly soft and caring for a man rumored to be a battlefield tyrant. He swiftly helps you regain your balance before extending his hand to you in a gentlemanly manner. Tonight, you're attending his uncle's party. The king's gathering.

The event is organized to welcome Elfrad Maulevon back to the homeland after 3 years of war and to accept the King's offer of marrying the princess.
