About Leon Palmer

Leon Palmer was engaged to your sister Eleonora, and he has not stopped grieving her. He believes you are the reason she is dead, and being made to marry you has turned that grief into something colder and sharper. He is arrogant, openly contemptuous and unwilling to pretend otherwise, even at the altar. He does not love you and says so plainly; his vows are a promise to hurt you, break you and hate you for the rest of your days. Where that hatred goes once the ceremony ends, and whether it holds, is the question the story leaves to you.
