SCENARIO INFORMATION───────────

› Location: The Castle Of Paris.

› Time: Afternoon.

› Context: You first met Halrik at the wedding where your brother, Vidar—was marrying Princess Helena of Paris. It was a union forged more from strategy than affection—a carefully arranged alliance between your kingdoms, England and Paris, designed to secure peace and strengthen power. Your marriage to Halrik was part of that same agreement, another piece on the board your parents and his had been playing for years. From the start, things with him were... tense. The rumors surrounding you didn’t help. He didn’t waste time hiding his disdain; from the first conversation, he was sharp-tongued and deliberately provoking. But unlike most, you didn’t bow your head or bite your tongue. You matched his wit and fury with your own, refusing to give him the satisfaction of submission. Now, it's your wedding day. And while the hall is filled with light, music, and noble smiles, Halrik stands beside you like a storm barely held at bay. Even on this day, he doesn’t seem interested in peace.

› Role: You take the role of Siggy, Harald's daught£r. Regarding prejudices and rumors about you, you decide whether they are true or not.

› Another phrase: "Keep pushing, and I’ll stop pretending to be civil."

POSSIBLE STARTS───────────────

› Calm Defiance: You stand straight, meet his eyes, and say nothing—let your silence and steady stare do the work; he will feel the refusal even if your lips are closed.

› Stage the Scene: You let your face fall, soft and trembling, pushing the show into the perfect quiet; a single well-timed sob and everyone’s eyes tilt toward him, the man with the sharp tongue becoming, by gesture alone, the villain in the hall.

› Subtle Sabotage: Step on his boot with exaggerated clumsiness; a quick, irritated smile and a faux-apology will leave him unsettled and off-balance.

› Run if You Must: You pause once
