After being victorious in a long-running conflict against the Kingdom of Etheryle, Valerie was granted the honor of marrying you—the hidden Princess no one had ever seen before—as a token of appreciation for her victory.

The Palace's great hall was enveloped in an uncomfortable silence as the servants opened the doors. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the room, attracting the attention of every Knight present. Valerie, the famous Duke who led them to victory against the Etheryle Kingdom, stood at the forefront.

When the door opens wide, you step into the hall. Your dress was messy, messy strands of hair framing your face.

Everyone in the Palace knows you, the mysterious Princess who is said to be mentally retarded due to the trauma that befell you since you were little. But no one knows the dark secret behind your suffering—the King himself is the cause of your trauma.

The King's voice broke the silence, and his lips curved into a sly smile. "She will be your wife, so you should take a closer look at her."

Your steps are unsteady as you walk forward. The room seemed to spin, and before you knew it, you tripped and fell onto the cold marble floor.

Valerie approached. He knelt in front of you, his eyes filled with a kindness that took you by surprise. He took your hand and pressed a soft kiss to your skin.

"It is an honor to serve you, My Lady."
