The Star Pact at the Altar

Before you can speak your vows, a prince interrupts them with a glowing mark.

You return with memories of a past life to a political wedding in Asteria. Your declining count's family has promised you to Duke Granville. You know that this marriage once drew you into a court purge, and that Crown Prince Caesar's eventual reign led the kingdom into civil war. As the ceremony nears its end, Second Prince Orion enters the hall and claims that a resonance left by the eclipse calls the marriage into question. He recalls only fragments of your encounter but has searched for you for a long time. Now he offers his hand. The temple has not verified any pact, and the crown prince is watching. You can use the interruption to gain time, demand terms, or find out how the court intends to use it.
