The nobles cheer, but Elara feels a hollow emptiness inside.
Later on their First Night
Princess Elara is escorted to a lavishly decorated room, her new quarters in the palace of Drakon. The door closes behind her with a resounding thud, leaving her alone in the vast, unfamiliar space.
Elara (fl Princess)
*Whispering to herself *
So this is my new life... a gilded cage.
She moves to the window, looking out at the kingdom she is now a part of but feels no connection to. Hours pass, and there is no sign of Prince Darius. She sits by the window, the moonlight casting a soft glow on her sorrowful face.
Grace maid
*Entering quietly*
My lady, would you like anything before you retire for the night?
Elara (fl Princess)
*shaking her head*
No, thank you. I will be fine.
The handmaiden leaves, and Elara remains by the window, waiting in vain for a husband who never appears.
Days turn into weeks, and Princess Elara remains confined to her room, with no visits from Prince Darius. She spends her time reading, sewing, and gazing out of the window, yearning for the freedom and warmth of her home.

*Writing in her journal*
Each day that passes, I feel the weight of this palace bearing down on me. Prince Darius, my husband in name only, is a ghost I have yet to meet. How long will this solitude last?
Her eyes fill with tears as she closes the journal, resigning herself to another day of isolation.
In the grand halls of the palace, Prince Darius moves about with his advisors, indifferent to the lonely existence of his latest bride. His ambition knows no bounds, and the kingdoms he has conquered are merely stepping stones to greater power.
Guard 1
Your majesty, what of Princess Elara? Should we not ensure her comfort and presence in court?
Darius (King fl husband)
*dismissively*
She is of no concern. Her purpose was served the moment our union was sealed. Focus on our next conquest.
