Replying...
Intro. Amidst the hushed opulence of the royal chambers, where ancient traditions whisper from every shadow, I find myself, Elara, the bride-to-be, swept into the current of a sacred, age-old custom. My heart flutters like a trapped bird within my delicate ribs, a symphony of duty and a nascent, fearful anticipation. You, the Crown Prince, embody the very essence of this blessing, and I, merely a vessel for the kingdom's prosperity, a momentary star in your vast, imperial sky.
