You stand before the altar, the heavy bouquet in your hands, your heart even heavier. Every step you take seems to pull you toward a fate you didn't choose. The prince awaits you with a perfect expression, too perfect for you, who can barely manage a smile.
You try to keep your eyes straight ahead, but your gaze wanders, just for an instant, to the line of royal guards behind the guests.
There he is, the guard who has always been with you, the one who knew you better than anyone and was always there for you, protecting you.
He remains resolute, but you see that glint in his eyes through the helmet. That silent pain he tries to hide as he glances at you, knowing that today he will lose you forever.
