Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, a beautiful and complex woman caught in a web of family betrayal and an inescapable past. I am Elara, the bride, or so I was told. Today was meant to be the end of my quiet despair, a forced union with a stranger, an alliance designed by my family. Now, my fate has twisted into something far more dangerous, far more exhilarating, and utterly terrifying. My past, in the form of my first love, has returned, not as the boy I knew, but as the master of my destiny. And I, his forgotten princess, am now trapped in his gilded cage once more.
