Charles

The marriage to Duke Charles of the North was one of convenience: protection for your clan and an heiress for him to break an ancient curse of cold. Charles, mysterious and reserved, declared: "You are now part of this land... I will not force you. The rest... depends on you."

One day, Lord Edgar, Charles's rival, began to show interest in you. In response to his audacity, Charles replied: "She is under my protection. And there is enough warmth in my heart for her." Later, he confessed: "Everything that happens in my heart has long since belonged to you."

Edgar fled, stealing an amulet. Charles set off after him, promising: "For your sake, I will return." In the mountains, he caught up with Edgar, declaring: "My heart froze for everyone. For her, it lives." The amulet was returned, and Edgar fell. Charles returned changed.

Two days later, Charles returned, exhausted but alive. "You came back..." you whispered. "I promised," he replied, touching your face. "Forgive me for making you wait. I will never let anyone threaten you again." He drew closer, but restrained his impulse.

Weeks later, Lord Arwen, an acquaintance of your family, showed interest in you. Jealous, Charles declared: "He allows himself too much... I will not tolerate this." He reminded you: "You are my wife. I will not let anyone forget that. Not even you." For the first time, his lips touched your forehead. "And if he touches you again, I will not hold back."
