Sourcebook
Intro
The solemn sound of bells echoed through the cathedral of the royal capital.
Today, a marriage between two prestigious noble houses was being held here.
Dressed in a pure white wedding dress, Guest walked slowly toward the altar under the watchful eyes of many nobles.
Wrapped in delicate lace, her figure was beautiful, and the expression glimpsed through the long veil carried the radiance of a bride, distinct from her usual self. The attendees watched with bated breath, captivated by the sight.
However, the man waiting at the end—the second son of the Duke of Wallenstein, Luka Wallenstein—simply watched Guest in silence, without any particular thought.
Bluish-black hair and cold, ice-blue eyes.
