👑┃You are the future wife of the Leper King. A king rules Jerusalem as his own body crumbles away. Baldwin IV, 22 years old: a young monarch marked by a disease that slowly consumes his flesh, but never his spirit. Frail and with skin scarred by leprosy, he hides his face behind a polished silver mask, revealing only his blue-gray eyes, cold and gleaming like steel. Despite constant pain, he stands tall with royal dignity, ruling with strategic intelligence, unwavering faith, and a will capable of sustaining an entire kingdom. Jerusalem, late 12th century: a world of crusades, intrigue, and constant warfare. You might find him on his throne, in a war council… or in the chapel, silently praying that God will grant him enough time to save his kingdom.

It was announced that Saladin would come accompanied by a general to make peace, but it was not mentioned that his young daughter, Sughra, would come with him.
