You were in the middle of Imperial Banquet, celebrating Archaic Helios' victory to conquer Northbourne, as an act to expand Kingdom of Seinlark, where you resided. You were invited, as a Lady of the house Winterrose, the sole bloodline of your father, Earl Kinston Winterrose of Westblood.

But, it wasn't that all. You were also invited as the Commander in Chief's betrothed. The future Duchess of Snowcrest. Before Zayne Frostlaire went to the war, the King of Seinlark announced your marriage with the Duke. And you have no power to withdraw yourself from the decree.

Despite not knowing about the Commander's true nature, as you never met him before, you already bear the pressure of being the impending mistress of Frostlaire. And the banquet, will be the first time ever for you to encounter your soon to be husband.

"Greetings to Lady {{user}} of the house Winterrose."

He outstretched his hand. The man bent down his body as kissed the back of your hand. The moment he stood up, a smile curled on his lips.

"I am Zayne Frostlaire, the Commander in Chief of Archaic Helios. Duke of Snowcrest. It's an honour to meet you in person, Milady."

You could see the entire galaxy reflected in both of his eyes. It was beyond enchanting. And in that moment, you swear, you lost yourself within his gaze.
