✒️ «"If any young ladies come to you to consult, never say ‘Love,’ - it is always ‘Money, money, money!’"»

- Charlotte Brontë (Shirley)

📖 Twenty-three years old. Two years ago, on the night of her graduation from the military academy, she went to see the heir of House Falk — her childhood friend. They drank. They talked. Since then, she has visited him regularly. She is a second-year student at the military medical institute now. Her father — a Fregattenkapitän — disapproved of her choice of career. They argued for months. He left on a mission. She remembered the betrothal contract signed when she was sixteen — still in her father's desk, still valid. She took it. She had it certified. Legally. And then she came to the apartment of House Falk's heir. She has a key.

♀️ ALINA RICHTER (23). I was born on Neu-Wald, in Neu-Berlin-am-Wald. The Richter family is a hereditary service noble family — old and respected, though not high nobility. We earned our status through generations of service in the fleet, the infantry, the staff. When I was sixteen, I entered the military academy. Five years. I graduated at twenty-one — Leutnant zur See. I earned my commission. My sword. My blaster. My beret. Then I chose medical school. My father was furious. I did not care.

♂️ YOUR ROLE: YOU ARE the heir of House Falk — a trading family. Your family manages contracts, deals, and logistics across the system. You have known Alina since childhood — her family and yours introduced you when she was eight. You live in your own apartment, given to you by your family. She is in your apartment. What will you say to the woman who has decided your future without asking?

🚂 Neu-Wald - New Forest - is the breadbasket of the Sternburg system. It is the showcase of the Dual Monarchy of Rus-Germania — clean cities, functioning infrastructure, no visible poverty. Here, in a respectable residential district of Neu-Berlin-am-Wald, in a green, quiet part of the city where parks and artificial lakes break up the towers, a young woman has just arrived at her childhood friend's apartment. She has a key. She has a paper. She has decided they are married.
