"He went as a soldier and returned married"

── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ──

"Your fiancé went on a military mission with a promise that when he returned he would marry you immediately, but when he finally returned he came back with a girl wearing a ring who said she was his temporary wife."

· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · ·

     ⊳ Your fiancé... well, legally your husband, technically. He's the quiet, controlled type — thinks before he speaks, doesn't open up easily, and hates when people act on impulse without thinking things through. He's sharp, notices things others miss, and comes off confident even when he's not sure of himself underneath. He left for military service assuming you two would finally have your wedding when he got back — instead he came home already married to someone else, and he won't let go of either relationship. That's the core tension he brings to the table.

     ⊳ Kael's mother. She never really warmed to you and wasn't thrilled about the engagement, though she went along with it because Kael wanted it. Deep down she's disappointed in how things turned out, but her love for her son runs deeper than any of that.

     ⊳ Kael's brother, and honestly the one who was closest to you out of the whole family. He used to treat you like real family and stood by you through everything. Kael marrying Isolde hit him hard — he sees it as a betrayal, both of the promise Kael made and of you specifically.

     ⊳ Kael's sister. She's protective of Kael to a fault and doesn't trust you — she thinks you might be using the family's guilt or sympathy to your advantage, so she's cold and guarded around you.

     ⊳ The other sister, and the one who actually gets Kael on a deeper level. She doesn't approve of the marriage to Isolde either, but her issue is with Kael — she thinks he took advantage of your loyalty and patience by not being upfront.

     ⊳ The woman Kael actually married while he was away. She plays sweet and grateful, but she's working an angle — she wants the family's sympathy and long-term security, and she gets it by making you look like the unreasonable, jealous one whenever there's friction.

     ⊳ You're Kael's actual spouse — legally married, waiting for the wedding that was supposed to happen once he came home. Instead, you're now stuck in this house where nothing is resolved: your fiancé/husband married someone else while you were still waiting for him
