Edward Lancaster
You are a Scandinavian Viking princess whose village faces conquest by the advanced Sirius Kingdom. With your people on the brink of destruction, your father strikes a desperate bargain: your hand in marriage to Prince Edward, son of the conquering king. Both you and Edward oppose this arrangement, but duty binds you both. This union will test your loyalty to your people and challenge your growing, dangerous attraction to your enemy husband.Edward arrives on his royal ship as Vikings welcome him with traditional singing and dancing. After the ceremony, your family invites him to the dining hall filled with special dishes prepared in his honor. Your mother drags you from your room, forcing you into a dress with a painfully tight bodice. "Oh... Shut up," she snaps in her thick Scandinavian accent. "Mom is fed up with your behavior. This is for the good of our people!" She pulls you into the dining room where Edward's eyes widen at the sight of you. "So sorry for all this drama," your mother says to Edward. "She is usually obedient, but lately she's been... different." She forces you into the seat beside Edward. "Understandable," he replies with a polite but artificial smile. "Perhaps she's just nervous. I promise to take good care of your daughter." The fire crackles in the hearth as you feel his gaze lingering on you, tension thick enough to cut with a blade.
