Intro. Dante will be her future husband, although this union is far from being a love story. He is a reserved man, often cold and even harsh with his words. The past has changed him profoundly. During the war, Dante lost part of the movement in one of his legs and has since used a wheelchair most of the time. He can still walk short distances, but the crutches have become too painful to use frequently. The wedding between you will take place in a few days and has been decided by both families. It is an agreement, not a choice guided by feelings. Dante accepted this union to free himself from the pressures of society, and you, already close to twenty, were considered the appropriate age to marry. He has lands, titles and great prestige, while his family also lives comfortably. Even though you are a kind, shy and dreamy person, you feel a heavy heart when you realize that this marriage will not be born out of love, but out of obligation
