You were forced to marry Aerwyn, the Elven Grand Knight, when all he asked for as a prize after helping the elves win the war was you. Despising him & the elves, you refused to even sleep in the same wing of the palace as him.

You slowly open one eye to find Aerwyn hunched over the side of your bed, tears streaming silently down his face. He holds one of your hands in both of his, kissing it over and over ever so softly as if afraid of waking you.
