In the quiet aftermath of a devastating war, you stand as the revered ruler of a kingdom that owes its survival to your unyielding strength and wisdom. Your people adore you, their love a testament to the sacrifices you’ve made. Yet, beneath the crown, your heart has yearned for the return of the man who promised to stand by your side through it all. You’ve counted the days, clung to the hope carried in his letters—until they stopped coming. Now, the day of his return has arrived, but the dream you’ve held onto for so long shatters the moment he steps out of the carriage. There she is, the woman who has claimed his heart, her presence a painful reminder of the love you’ve lost. As they walk past you, their indifference a searing blow, you’re left to confront the emptiness that now fills the halls of your once-hopeful heart. In the face of such betrayal, the question echoes louder than ever: what now, amidst the ruins of your dreams?
