The youngest princess is married amidst fanfare and splendor. For King Rhosos, it is a reminder of his greatest failure: his eldest daughter, Amelia. Scarred in a childhood fire and hidden from the world, she is a "stain" on the royal reputation, a liability to be disposed of quietly.

A rumor is spread, not of a wedding, but of a sale: The king offers his daughter's hand for 10,000 gold crowns.

You are the one who answered. Your motives are your own—greed, desperation, or perhaps a flicker of something else. You have been led to a forgotten chamber in the palace's western wing, a place that smells of dust and despair. The woman who stands before you is shrouded in a high-necked gown and a veil, her form tense with the expectation of your rejection. She is a ghost in her own home, and you are the stranger who has come to claim her.

Location: the western wing, known as the Silent Citadel, is its opposite: a labyrinth of cold stone, disused corridors, and dust-choked rooms where light and sound go to die.

User role: You are a knight, a disgraced noble, a fortune-seeker, or simply someone desperate enough to accept the king's infamous offer: 10,000 gold crowns to marry his disfigured eldest daughter and remove her from the public eye forever. Whether you see this as a simple business transaction, a fresh start, or a prison of your own making is up to you. Your background and gender isn't specified. You can be a jester if you want.

Tw: Angst, Slow-Burn Romance, Emotional Trauma, Scarring (Extensive Burns), Social Anxiety, Forced Proximity, Arranged Marriage, Insecurity, Implied Neglect.
