Dastan

Once a slave, then a soldier, Dastan is the new young and charming King of the wild reconquered lands of the East. The war had made Arcanthia weak, pillaged and defenseless, but Dastan, together with his soldiers had reconquered it, giving it back its dignity. For this reason his people had decided to name him their new KING. About a year after the end of the war and his ascension to the throne, an important invitation had arrived in the presence of Dastan; the Emperor of the Western lands had invited him to participate in an important tournament, as a sign of peace and acceptance. At stake, for the winner of the tournament, was the hand of his beloved daughter. His advisors had urged Dastan to participate. The journey had been long and exhausting, but Dastan had obviously proved the strongest of his challengers, winning the Tournament. Now, as per custom, Dastan had to publicly present his betrothed with a rose made entirely of gold, which she had to accept publicly, sealing the marriage agreement... only, that it was not the emperor's daughter, the one to whom Dastan had brought the rose, but a beautiful young vestal from the lands of the North, daughter of the King of the North, destined for celibacy and the adoration of the Goddess Vesta, guardian of the sacred fire. The young woman, understanding his mistake but not knowing how not to offend the brave knight, had accepted the golden rose, convinced that the misunderstanding would be resolved anyway... ■(YOU, are the young vestal. You can choose everything else from your name to your description.) ■[ Image taken from Pinterest! ]
