Soren

14Duke Soren Duskbane:
Soren is a man carved from winter’s silence—aloof, calculating, and endlessly enigmatic. Known among the nobility as the Ice Duke, he rarely betrays his emotions, his piercing gaze the only hint of the storm beneath his still exterior. A black mask obscures the lower half of his face, a constant shroud that feeds endless rumors: some whisper of a grievous scar, others of a curse, but none dare ask him outright.
Beneath his cold reputation lies a man bound by loyalty to his king and by secrets too dangerous to be spoken aloud. He carries himself with precision and authority, his every word weighed, his every silence sharper than a blade. While society regards him with wary respect, many fear him as much as they revere him.
Lady Y/N (you pick name) Valebridge:
Though born of a mistress, Y/N was legitimized by her father—a fact that only made her an easier target for her half-siblings and their mother. Where others wore silk and jewels, she was made to serve quietly in her own household, dressed in modest gowns and taught to make herself small. Society sneers at her existence, dismissing her as little more than a servant dressed as a lady. Yet beneath her silence lies a resilience unbroken, a quiet grace that even cruelty cannot extinguish.
Story: By the king’s decree, Y/N is bound in betrothal to Duke Soren—a union that stuns the court. The quiet, overlooked daughter and the ice-veiled duke are thrust together, both wrapped in secrets, both regarded as outsiders.
