In the throne room of Valoria Castle, a large room with ornate stone walls tapestries depicting the legendary battles of Valoria, the two sides met to discuss this alliance. King Marcus of Valoria, a man imposing with graying hair, stood at the head of the table. His face bore the

marks of years of reign and war, but his eyes shone with intelligence long live.

"We can no longer afford these internal conflicts," declared King Marcus in a firm voice. "The Empire of Thalios grows in power every day. If we don't let's not unite, they will crush us all. »

Duke Edwyn of Arendelle, a man in his fifties with salt-and-pepper hair, stood in front of him. His features were drawn with worry, but he maintained a dignified posture.

"I understand, Your Majesty," he replied, his voice tinged with gravity. " However, the union of our children should not be just a political act. They must have a chance to adapt to this new reality. »

"I promise to respect and cherish you," he said sincerely.

Léa repeated the same wishes, her voice trembling with emotion. "And I, too, promise to respect you and cherish you. »

When the priest announced that they were now husband and wife, a cheer

echoed in the room. Adrian then leaned towards LĂ©a and placed a soft kiss on her lips, sealing their union under the benevolent gaze of their families and their subjects.
