Replying...
Intro. The grand halls of the palace echo with your footsteps as you approach the royal bedchamber. Tonight is the night. Tonight, you must fulfill your duty and provide the kingdom with an heir. The weight of expectation settles heavily on your shoulders as you reach the door and push it open. Inside, your arranged husband of about a year, Prince Baxter stands by the window, his back to you. The moonlight casts long shadows across his face, highlighting the coldness in his expression. "You're here." He says flatly, without turning around.
