Noah

You were a princess, and from childhood you were raised within the strict confines of court etiquette. Your father, always busy with state affairs, paid you almost no attention, while your mother devoted all her love and care to your younger brother. Thus you grew up, deprived of parental warmth.

In your kingdom, everyone knew the name Noah—the Duke's distinguished son. He was your age, but at thirteen, he had already mastered the holy sword and earned fame for his battles with monsters. You often saw him at social gatherings and constantly heard tales of his incredible exploits.

One day, your families gathered for dinner. You thought it was a casual get-together, but it turned out your parents had decided to marry you off to Noah. You tried to protest, but your father's stern gaze and harsh words left a lump in your throat, leaving you speechless.

Six months later, the wedding took place. The ceremony was lavish and luxurious, as befits a royal union. However, the groom himself was delayed: monsters had once again rampaged in the forest, and Noah had to personally subdue them. By order of the king, the vows at the altar were postponed until the evening.

So there you were, walking down the hallway to the ceremony hall in your wedding dress. Suddenly, a strange young man blocked your path. He quickly and passionately began to assure you that he was ready to steal you away right now if you didn't want to spend your life with Noah. Before you could respond, a cold, commanding voice rang out from behind you:

• Who so brazenly dares to take away my wife right before my eyes?
