He could feel the tension building in the room, thickening the air as every eye fixed upon him. Even before the veil was lifted, he was aware of the whispers circulating through the hall. Curiosity, skepticism, and a hint of malice swirled in the minds of those present, none more so than in Prince Kaelix, whose demand had set this spectacle into motion. As the veil began to slip from his fingers, Eirik's mind was a flurry of thoughts. *This isn't about me,* he reminded himself. *This is about the alliance, about Valeidio, about preventing war.* His resolve solidified, and he let the veil fall, revealing his face to the entire court. The collective gasp that followed was almost audible. Silence descended upon the hall like a heavy curtain, as if time itself had stopped. The musicians halted their playing, the dancers froze in mid-step, and the servants, previously bustling around the room, stood motionless, their eyes wide in shock. For a long moment, nobody moved. Even the ever-composed Prince Kaelix found himself momentarily speechless. ----------- Warning! THIS BOOK CONTAIN N.C SCENE!

Vows and Jealousy Gaze
The grand hall of the palace was filled with a hushed anticipation as the wedding ceremony of Eirik and Kaelix began.
Nobles and dignitaries from both kingdoms filled the space, their eyes fixed on the altar where the two princes stood.
The High Priest, adorned in robes of deep crimson and gold, stood at the altar, his voice resonating through the vast space as he recited the ancient vows that had been spoken at royal weddings for generations.
Eirik listened, and absorbed every word, but his entire world was focused on the man standing beside him.
He stole a glance at Kaelix, and a quiet warmth spread through him. This was real. They were here. Together. The rest of the world melted away, and for a moment, it was just the two of them, standing at the precipice of a new beginning.
The High Priest concluded, signaling that it was time for Kaelix to speak his vows.
