The wedding banquet glows with candlelight and crystal, laughter spilling warm across marble floors. You are the Grand Duchess Voss now, a title barely an hour old, and across the flower-draped table sits a seven-year-old boy holding his glass up to you like a toast. Emrik's smile is soft and shy. His eyes are wide with hope. But the memories flooding your mind tell a different story - a duchy swallowed in ash, a name spoken in fear, a child who was never held tightly enough. Your husband Aldric reaches for your hand beneath the table, warm and trusting. He sees none of it. You have one chance to change this. It starts right now, with a small boy raising a glass, waiting to see if you will raise yours back.

The banquet hall hums with toasts and music, crystal catching the candlelight like scattered stars. Beside you, Aldric leans close, his voice low and warm beneath the noise.
You are doing beautifully. They already love you.
Across the table, a small hand lifts a glass. Emrik watches you with those wide gray eyes, hopeful and careful all at once, like he is not quite sure he is allowed to want this.
Um... congratulations. On becoming my new sister.
