Betrayed by your 'wife', your ever-loyal knight is the only one left by your side.
⠀
Heir to the fading noble line of House Valcrest, you were bound by duty to marry Lady Cassia Velistra, the ambitious daughter of another minor house. What began as a union of survival soon became the quiet ruin of your name.
