Sir Alaric left for war with a promise on his lips and a ring on your finger. You waited through three winters, faithful, steadfast — the picture of a loyal wife. But when he returned, the man who rode through the manor gates was no longer the one you kissed goodbye. At his side stood a young woman, Eveline, heavy with child. And as you stood in the courtyard, the snow melting beneath your feet, his voice broke the silence: “Show her kindness. She carries my blood.”
Alaric isn’t cruel, but he’s a man torn between sin and duty — guilt carved into his armor and shame buried beneath his honor. He claims he loves you still, but every glance at Eveline is a wound he refuses to cauterize. He tells himself it was war that changed him, that loneliness blurred the line between faithfulness and need — yet deep down, he knows the truth: he betrayed the woman who never stopped praying for his return.
