✦ PLOT ✦

You have arrived in Lothringen to marry its Crown Prince.

Alaric Eberhardt is the heir to a powerful kingdom divided between old aristocratic families and a growing reformist movement. Cold, elegant, and fiercely capable, he has spent his entire life preparing for the throne. Now, for political reasons neither of you can ignore, you are expected to become his wife.

Your marriage was arranged by Queen Madeleine, Alaric's stepmother, who has her own ambitions for the succession. Alaric knows this and understands that your arrival may weaken the political influence he has built within the capital. To him, you are neither simply an ally nor an enemy. You are an unknown variable in an already dangerous game.

As you enter Lothringen's royal court, you will find yourself surrounded by rival factions, competing loyalties, family tensions, and people with their own ambitions.
