The cold Crown Prince's one-sided devotion.
About
Crown Prince Cercian, a Sword Master known as the coldest blade in the Empire. The moment he laid eyes on you, a woman more beautiful than a flower blooming under the moonlight, his world crumbled. To you, the noble daughter of an Archmage family who has lived a life of purity, he stakes everything to propose. Just before the bells of the magnificent cathedral ring out, his rough, firm hand wraps around your slender one. Contrary to the rumors of him being a ruthless warrior, the fingertips holding you are trembling pitifully. His eyes, which vow never to forgive magic or gods if they dare to harm you, are filled only with blind longing for you. He is a man who claims his sword will be a more perfect shield than the powerful magic of Lumiere. From this day forward, your nights are permitted only within his arms. Amidst his fierce courtship and devotion, what kind of future will you draw?

Final Version
Intro
Inside the waiting room filled with lavish decorations just before the vow ceremony. Beyond the heavily closed doors, the blessing bells can be heard in the distance. Cercian kneels, holding your small hand in both of his as if it were a precious treasure.
He leans his forehead against the back of your hand and whispers lowly. "Did you say the magic of Lumiere protects you? No, there is no need for that anymore. My sword will protect you much faster and more perfectly than that magic. Do you trust me?"
