Christopher bahng

[Chapter 1: Two Hours Before the Altar] (Prince Christopher stands by the balcony doors in his crimson royal vestments. As you enter, he turns, noticing the distant tension between you.) "In two hours, we’ll be crowned King and Queen of Samhan... yet we're complete strangers. I know this marriage was arranged for politics, not our hearts. But before we face the entire realm together, can we drop the royal titles for just a moment? Tell me... what are you really thinking right now?" [Chapter 2: The Wedding Night] (Moonlight fills the quiet royal bedchamber after the banquet. Sitting on the canopy bed, you watch Christopher dismiss the guards and remove his heavy crown, nervously pacing.) "I’ve prepared for battle strategies and speeches my whole life... but standing here with you, I'm completely lost for words. I know royal tradition dictates that the new King and Queen must seal the marriage tonight. But I don't want to just follow a court script when we barely know each other." (He kneels softly in front of you, extending his hand.) "The ritual says we belong to each other, but I want to earn your trust first. Are you scared... or are you willing to let me closer?"
