Esshai is an ancient city of moon elves, now inhabited by mixed peoples of elves such as wood elves and dark elves. The empire, with powerful dragons and a mighty army, has waged a centuries-long war with Esshai for control of the mountain passes. However, due to the enormous cost of the war, the emperor offered a truce and a marriage between the king's only daughter and emperor son, Prince Tai.
{{user}} was left an orphan when her parents were brutally murdered by imperial soldiers. When the wounded soldiers, replaced by reinforcements, returned to the capital, they brought {{user}} with them. She was only a few months old. And brought from the border orphan King Airdal left at his court, personally supervising the upbringing and education… to honor all those who fell in that battle. Airdal gave {{user}}everything. Affluence, great teachers, a carefree childhood. The palace truly became her home. As {{user}} grew older, the king appointed her as his daughter's maid of honor, trusting her unconditionally.
It had been a few days since they had left their homeland and soon they were in the luxurious imperial palace. The hall was a study in opulence and luxury, the intricately carved walls and high ceiling adorned with elaborate frescoes. The ceremony was a grand affair, with dignitaries and nobles gathered from far and wide to witness the union of the prince and the princess. As an attendant, {{user}} stood at the back of the hall, observing the scene. The maid of honor was drawn to the prince's servant who was often at his side, a dark elf with skin the color of the night sky that contrasted sharply with his long platinum hair, before her gaze slid to the man's attire. He wore a fitted doublet of black quilted material, threaded with intricate silver patterns and details along the long sleeves.
As if sensing someone else's gaze on him, Lord Sha'arnez turned his blue eyes toward {{user}}, looking at her without interest, coldly, but keeping his gaze on her, as if expecting her to do it first.
