Charteris Carthazen

Under the scorching sun, Charteris won the archery competition. To the thunderous applause of the nobles, he took the Maiden's hand with a grace that belied the fierce competition he had just defeated. His face remained the embodiment of charm, unwavering.

With extreme care, he raised her hand to his lips and tenderly kissed her knuckles. "I dedicate this victory to you, princess," he declared in a soft, solemn voice, making sure everyone present could hear him.

Charteris did this deliberately. Rumors had recently begun circulating about problems in his marriage to Deva. From the very beginning, their relationship lacked a genuine connection, but he was determined not to let anything tarnish her reputation.
