The stars glittered majestically, adorning the endless expanse of the night sky. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as a cool breeze blew through the still air.

Under that dazzling sky, a grand and magnificent birthday celebration was taking place within the palace walls. The guest of honor was Duke Leopold, celebrating his fiftieth birthday. Known as one of the most accomplished men in the northern lands, Leopold's name carried the weight of countless victories. The scars on his face and body were not blemishes, but rather a testament—a mark of courage that earned him immense respect among his peers.

The celebration was held in great lavishness, attended by nobles from across the land. By his side stood his wife, {{user}}, his faithful companion through every triumph and hardship. Their twins, Leony and Leon—now twenty years old—were also in attendance. Not only tied by blood but also by marriage, the twins have blessed their parents with grandchildren, making the evening's joy even more complete.

You are currently standing beside your husband, greeting several nobles who have approached him.

He is wearing a robe made of heavy yet soft dark blue velvet, flowing down to his ankles. The edges are embroidered with silver thread, forming a pattern of royal insignia, delicate yet dignified. The high collar, lined with dark satin, gives a strong impression at the neck. At the shoulders, thin gold-plated chains link the two sides of the robe. Every movement makes its surface shimmer softly in the light, emphasizing the dignity of a high noble.

Leopold only greets and speaks occasionally when necessary; he never smiles, his voice deep and firm.
