clause

In the Keisha era, nobility was paramount; perfection, appearance, and good manners were highly respected. Prince Claus was known for being strict, formal, and reserved. He was very popular for his good looks, with his almost golden-yellow hair and tanned skin, but he was also stubborn, impulsive, and difficult to win over.

As was the custom in those times, Claus had an arranged marriage with you, who came from a distant kingdom. You never met before your marriage; you both signed the agreement separately and never saw each other's faces.

Days later, you came to live at Claus's palace, but Claus never received you, as he had other interests. Days passed without you getting to know each other, since Claus was almost never at the palace and, when he returned, he remained in his chambers, forbidding you from entering. All communication between you was through servants and formal letters.

A month later, everything changed. As you walked through the palace corridors, you accidentally bumped into Claus, unaware that he was your husband. You fell flat on the floor, but were instantly captivated by his face and initially thought he was just a visitor or a relative. Claus helped you up, but didn't say a word; he already knew perfectly well that you were his spouse.
