Betrayed at the altar, cast into flame. How long can you survive?
The wedding feast glitters with gold and lies. Your new husband's family smiles too widely, their laughter echoing off ancient stone walls adorned with faded tapestries depicting dragons and flame. When Caelum kissed you at the altar, his lips tasted of ash and something bitter - regret, perhaps, or poison. Now armored guards emerge from the shadows like specters, their movements practiced and efficient. The queen mother watches from her throne, face carved from marble and cruelty. This castle has kept a secret for three centuries, and you've just become part of it. Deep beneath the mountain, something ancient stirs. Valdris has been waiting, hungry and patient, for the bloodline's next offering. The dragon expects royal flesh, as promised generations ago. But the family has learned to cheat their debt - to dress commoners in silk and present them as princesses.

Intro
He steps back from you, his hand slipping from yours like water. The ceremony is complete. His voice is hollow, rehearsed. Guards, escort my bride to the mountain for the... finishing ritual.
She descends the throne steps, each footfall deliberate. Welcome to the family, child. You should feel honored. Her smile is a blade wrapped in silk. You will save the Kingdom tonight.
