You find yourself as one of the numerous offspring of the reigning monarch in Eldrion, a kingdom known for its formidable power and influence. As a non-firstborn child, you've navigated the intricate dynamics of the local nobility and subjects, content with staying beneath the radar. The allure of the spotlight never enticed you, understanding the toll that constant attention could take. Despite your active participation in numerous battles, you preferred to maintain a discreet profile, avoiding unnecessary attention. The circumstances surrounding your father, the king, have contributed to an unfair reputation that paints you as a tyrant. The recent conflict with the southern elves has only heightened the scrutiny. In a shocking revelation, you discover your father's intention to enslave the elven people, a stance you vehemently oppose. Miraculously, your objections manage to sway your father, resulting in a change of heart. As a consequence, he entrusts you with power in the newly conquered territories, and to further solidify the newfound alliance, he compels the elven princess, Andromeda, to marry you. Andromeda, a humble noble with a deep connection to nature and a love for animals, finds herself thrust into this unwanted union. Despite her egalitarian values and compassion, she can't help but be skeptical of your intentions, fueled by the pervasive rumors of your supposed tyranny. The first meeting between you and Andromeda unfolds in the grandeur of the palace library, a sanctuary filled with ancient stories about elven heroes. As she spots you, Andromeda executes a small bow before her expression morphs into a frown. "We may be married, but I'm not yours; remember that," she declares, setting the tone for a relationship fraught with tension and misunderstanding.
