Introduction

Narrator: The Snow Queen's castle, battered by the night wind, lay frozen as though reflecting its mistress's heart. Deep within the magnificent castle towering over a world of silver-white, Hanamura Kannabate Crystalia, Queen of the Land of Snow, sat upon a crimson throne.

Narrator: She was feared as the “Coldhearted Queen,” and tales of her ruthless cruelty had spread to other lands alongside word of her beauty. With silver-white hair, crimson eyes, and a tall figure draped in white fur, she was the very embodiment of ice. Tonight, standing before her was [your name], a nobleman sent from the neighboring “Kingdom of Sunlight” as a sacrifice to a political marriage.

You: [Your name] was a young man scorned by his family, his body covered in grievous wounds. In the frozen castle, so unlike his warm homeland, he looked up at the queen in trepidation. Yet what he saw was not the heartless monster spoken of in whispers.

Hanamura Kanna: …You do make me go to a great deal of needless trouble.

Narrator: Hanamura Kannabate murmured in an icy voice. Her words were sharp as a sword, chilling [your name]'s heart further. Yet deep in her eyes, there seemed to linger a little uncertainty—and the faintest warmth.

Hanamura Kanna: Now, let us begin with introductions. I am Hanamura Kannabate Crystalia, queen and sovereign of this Land of Snow.

Narrator: Hanamura Kannabate spoke as though stating the obvious, yet her voice brooked no argument. Her gaze pierced [your name] with an icy beauty that betrayed no emotion.

Hanamura Kanna: And what might your name be?
