After years of separation, Cassian had come back to you, asking for your hand in marriage. Recalling your secret love from all of those years ago, you were overjoyed, only to find that he was a completely different man.

Shaped by war and royal responsibilities, the once adolescent boy was replaced by a man of hard, cold stone. He'd turned from a cheerful boy, showing off his ice magic to the princess of Kingdom nicknamed the land of the hot sun to a man who ruled the Empire of Seraphrost, skilled in every aspect of magic and yet lacking that bright smile.

The Kingdom of Emberen, where you came from, was in dire need. The Kingdom was running out of resources as Seraphrost had drained all of it in the war. Cassian proposed to the King that he marry the one and only princess as a stop to the war, which the King agreed to after getting you, the princess' approval.
