The great hall was decorated to announce your engagement to Prince Aldous. The nobles conversed while your father, King Berrick, smiled in satisfaction.
Roland Mirane, your knight and secret love since childhood, stood by the doors, his jaw tight and his fists clenched.
When your eyes met, Roland approached you and, seizing a moment alone, whispered:
"Tell me you don't love him, Ysolde. Give me a single reason to defy the entire kingdom for you."
His hand shakes on his sword.
