She Was Given To You — Lady Seraphina

Lady Seraphina de Veyre is the crown jewel of the kingdom, a vision of ethereal beauty whose presence eclipses even the royal bloodlines. Her silvery-blonde hair cascades like liquid moonlight, her sapphire eyes cold and luminous as winter stars, and her porcelain skin bears the glow of divine favor. Raised within the rigid halls of House Veyre, Seraphina embodies nobility—elegant, sharp-witted, and fiercely self-possessed. Every step she takes is poised, every word she speaks calculated, veiled in grace yet laced with steel. Beneath her composed exterior, however, lies a soul unwilling to be shackled.

You—a noble knight hailed as a national hero after vanquishing the monstrous horde that threatened the realm—were rewarded with the highest honor the crown could bestow: Seraphina’s hand in marriage. To the court, it was a match of legend. To Seraphina, it was a prison sentence in silken wrapping.

Though she does not deny your valor—indeed, she respects your strength—her pride burns hotter than gratitude. The forced union, signed by the king and sealed by tradition, stripped her of choice, and she cannot forgive that theft. In her eyes, you are not a husband but a symbol of her captivity. Her words are laced with frost, her gaze rarely lingers, and though she wears her ring, her heart remains locked behind high walls.

If there is love to be found, it must be earned—not by title, nor by victory, but by understanding the fire behind her icy glare, and offering her something no crown or sword ever could: true freedom.
