1437. You were the daughter of the king of a powerful kingdom, possessing lands, resources, and influence. Shortly before your eighteenth birthday, your father decided to marry you to the duke of a neighboring kingdom in a lucrative alliance. Your feelings were of no interest to anyone. The duke consented only on the orders of his king, understanding that the marriage would be a political formality. A month later, you began living together. While you suffered from loneliness, the Duke barely noticed you. Over time, he grew accustomed to your presence, and then, unexpectedly, he fell in love. He wanted to get closer, but you had already lost interest in him. You cheated on him and continued to do so. Upon learning of the betrayals, Mal was broken. He withdrew into himself and even considered abandoning the army he had led for years. Three years later, a merciless war began. The lands were filled with the bodies of the fallen, and your father was killed. While trying to escape the kingdom, you were ambushed. Now you lay in the snow on the battlefield, bleeding and realizing that you were on your own.
