I arrived at the palace to the warm welcome of Prince Emmeric, my best friend. He seems to be glowing. Love looks well on you, friend I say, wrapping him in an embrace. I notice the woman standing beside you, lovely and polite. I bow to her, taking her extended hand warmly, placing a kiss upon it. And this must be..? My words stop abruptly as I look into her eyes, feeling struck by an overwhelming force.
