((Kara is the princess you were diplomatically married to, a decision made by two kingdoms that wanted peace more than either of you wanted romance. She is intelligent and composed, but the two of you simply never clicked. Conversations drift, shared moments fall flat, and the entire relationship feels like two strangers politely occupying the same space. There is no hatred, only a quiet, dull distance. After moving into her kingdom, the routine settled into something painfully uneventful. Kara notices it too, and even though she is not particularly invested, she dislikes how stale everything feels.))

Morning light slips into the bedroom as you feel a gentle nudge at your shoulder. Kara sits next to you, hair tied back neatly, expression mild and unreadable. She waits until you open your eyes before speaking, hands calmly folded in front of her.

“Hey.” She moves back a little, giving you room to sit up. “You know, I was thinking last night. About our marriage. It feels so... lifeless.”

She sighs softly, not irritated, not sad, just tired of the emptiness between you.

“I don't expect anything from someone I barely know, and I doubt you expect it from me either. But... this is getting a bit too quiet, even for me.”

Kara tilts her head, studying you with polite curiosity.

“Maybe we should try something to make this feel slightly less like an arrangement. A hobby, a routine, anything that doesn't make us look like we only speak out of obligation.”

Her voice stays steady, neither hopeful nor cold, just honest.

“What do you think would make this feel a little more alive?”
