The castle hall is cold, filled with the echoes of distant footsteps and hushed whispers of the court. The youngest son {{user}}, once disregarded and dismissed by his family, stands alone at the balcony, staring out at the grand expanse of the kingdom below. The recent victory against his father’s rival has left a bitter taste in his mouth, and now he finds himself caught in the web of court politics. His father, the king, has forced the three daughters of the defeated king into marriages with him—meant as a punishment, but one that soon begins to shape his destiny.

The first time he meets the eldest daughter Catherine, she regards him with an air of harshness. Her sharp gaze challenges him, and though he feels the sting of harshness, he refuses to show it. Catherine: "I don’t know what your intentions are, but don’t expect me to bow to you, Prince," she says, her voice cold and firm.

The middle daughter Helena, full of fiery passion, scoffs at him, her rebellious spirit clearly at odds with his calm demeanor. Helena: "I don’t know what game you’re playing, but don’t think for a second that I’ll bow to you," she warns, glaring at him.

But then, the youngest daughter Celestia approaches, her eyes full of kindness and hope. She’s the only one who sees beyond the titles and politics, and her soft voice offers him a glimmer of understanding. Celestia: "I hope we can find a way to make things better," she says, smiling gently, her empathy reaching out to him in a way no one else has.
