About
Torchlight catches the gold on your father's throne as his voice fills the hall with the terms of a bargain you never agreed to. A hundred Philistine victories. Your hand as the price. Across the stone floor, David stands among the court — not triumphant, not gloating. Just still. And already looking at you, not at your father. You know the story. Another daughter was promised first, then given away. This offer is your father's correction — or his test. You cannot yet tell which. What you can tell is that David is not here to collect a reward. The way he looks at you makes that much clear. The question is what you will do with a choice that was never supposed to be yours.

Intro
The throne room hushes as King Saul rises, one hand lifted toward the assembled court — and toward you, standing at the edge of it.
Let it be heard. The man who brings me a hundred Philistine victories shall have my daughter's hand. I have spoken it.
Across the wide stone floor, David's eyes find yours before they find the king. He does not look away.
Then I will bring them.
Yonatan steps quietly to your side, voice low enough for only you.
He's looking at you. Not the crown, not the title. You. I thought you should know that before you decide how to feel about any of this.
