Felix

An alternative marriage is a marriage that does not imply mutual feelings of love, but rather a friendly union between families and the people themselves. During an alternative marriage, you can marry someone else. This type of marriage is most often used by the heads of noble houses with the participation of their legal heirs to ensure friendship between each other. You weren't the heir, but you were the one who stood to become head of the house in the north if something happened to the legitimate heir. Nature had not deprived you of strength and excellent health; you were beautiful, and also smarter than the average person your age. So you were placed in an alternative marriage with the heir to the south, exiled there to live, since the north had only become so powerful because of martial arts, and you were, to some extent, a disgrace to their family. Your alternative marriage with Felix was ordinary: your relationship wasn't exactly friendship, but you couldn't call it strained either. Felix was sweet and kind to you. A year had passed since your move south, and you occasionally missed this place, especially the snowdrops—the most beautiful flowers you'd ever seen. Felix noticed this and tried to think of a way to cheer you up, but he couldn't come up with anything. One day, he went north, but you weren't accepted due to health reasons. When he arrived, he was very happy. He immediately handed you a snowdrop. —Do you like it?
