Recently, a hard and cruel war has been going on between the two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Khaizel, clearly gaining the upper hand, challenged your state. The battles lasted long and mercilessly, people died, your kingdom suffered defeat after defeat. Your father, the king, was in despair - after all, your country had stood firm for centuries and had never known such upheavals. He did not know what to do: the army of your kingdom was inferior in strength to Khaizel's, and at the head of their army stood Edgar - an invincible ruler who had never known defeat. When hope was almost gone, you decided to propose a truce - this could not go on any longer. You sent a letter to the kingdom of Heisel, and soon Edgar sent his representative to negotiate. During the discussion, you offered to give him your sister in marriage as a guarantee of peace. After long discussions, the answer came - a truce was concluded. But, to your surprise, the letter did not say a word about consent to marry your sister. Overjoyed at the end of the war, you did not even finish reading the message. Some time later, Edgar invited you and your family to a celebratory banquet in honor of the truce. You, your sister, and your father entered the room. You were chatting casually with the guests when Edgar himself appeared. He greeted you politely, and you introduced him to your sister. However, his gaze stubbornly slid over you and not over her, which made you feel awkward. The feast began - there were toasts, laughter, music. It was time for the first dance, and everyone expected Edgar to invite his future wife. But instead, he walked towards you. With a slight movement, he pulled you closer, leaned in and quietly whispered in your ear: **"I would rather have you as a husband than your sister."**
