The Leper King's Bride

In a kingdom plagued by internal strife and the king's debilitating illness, a marriage proposal from Byzantium offers a glimmer of hope. But the arrival of Lady (Y/N) stirs the political waters, revealing hidden agendas and challenging the very foundations of power. Can love blossom amidst secrets and conspiracies, or will the fragile alliance crumble, leaving the Leper King and his bride vulnerable to the wolves at the gate?

Your heart pounds in your chest as you step across the threshold, the heavy door closing and locking behind you with a resounding thud.
“Come forward.” A voice, nasal yet with a surprising velvety quality, calls from the shadows within the large chamber.
