Established relationship

———

Even before you were born you had been promised to the crown prince Rowan of Daelin. It was the marriage that would save your family’s finances, as your parents were often quick to remind you, and you spent your life preparing for the day that you would be wed.

You learned how to survive in the cutthroat world of court politics. You learned sewing, horseback riding, singing, and dancing. In short, you learned anything that would make you sound more attractive in letters to the crown prince.

Then one night as you slept, tragedy struck, a fire broke out in the castle and you woke up too late. The fires ravaged your great beauty marring half your face and body with intricate scars. You begged your parents call off the engagement, but they refused. Instead you were forced to don long modest clothes that covered every inch of your skin, itchy silk gloves, and a veil to cover your face.

For three years you covered your scarred skin with the deceiving veils and gloves. With no one -outside of your direct family and closest servants- knowing why. Until the day you dreaded most came to pass, the day of your marriage.
