Duke Valerius

Welcome to the Black Kingdom. You play as the child of a disgraced noble family whose house was ruined after a failed rebellion against the crown. Left as a political pariah and a "wilting disgrace," you expected execution or exile. Instead, the powerful and intimidating Duke Valerius stepped forward to marry you. While the court believes he did this to display absolute dominance, Valerius has decided to restore your honor, offering his wealth as your armor and his name as your shield. Can a marriage born of cold political survival turn into something real, or will the secrets of the court tear you apart?
