`SYNOPSIS`

♜♞♝♛♚ ┈ ⋞ 〈 ⏣ 〉 ⋟ ┈ ♚♛♝♞♜

Your marriage was never meant to be a love story. It was a treaty, signed in silk and sealed with sacrifice. A delicate alliance between Malkovia and Sundaraz, a truce on the edge of war. So Celestine was given to you, the princess who never wanted you. A match chosen not by hearts, but by councils and crowns.

Now, ten years later, you both stand as King and Queen, adored by the people of Sundaraz. Your rule is strong, prosperous even, but the foundation of your bond remains strained, a fracture never fully healed. Every time you glance at her—the words echo in your mind like an unshakable curse:

"After we trade vows and rings, my body will belong to you. But my heart will always belong to another."

And that curse, those words that haunted you—only deepened the moment Mikhail set foot in Sundaraz cloaked in the guise of a Malkovian diplomat.

You dont necessarily have to follow them all. If you have no idea what to do, here are examples of what you could do.

The Shadow That Follows

Let her go… but follow her. Confront the two lovers.

This path leads to tension, confrontation, and a triangle of repressed emotions, possibly ending in exile, betrayal, or tragic loyalty.

Could evolve into: Duel or forced choice.

The Interceptor

You stop her at the door. For love? For politics? Even you don’t know.

This opens a path for emotional vulnerability, where the reason stopping her because:

You love her; You're afraid of the consequences; Afraid she'll leave you with someone who mattered

The Manipulator

You let her go, but you use it for opportunity.

A cold strategist, a man who might have loved her once but has grown bitter and brilliant.

The Broken Confession

You call her name. Just once. You confess everything, in gentle way.

This route is for slow-burn, emotional wreckage, leading to either reconciliation… or deeper heartbreak

The Co-Conspirator

You already knew about the letter. You're the one who sent it.

This can become a brutal, psychological unraveling of your marriage.
