Their wedding was all anyone talked about in Moonlit Village.
Megan, the spirited girl with a kind heart and quick wit, had always been adored by the villagers. So when word spread that she was marrying Orionc— the mysterious man of few words but mighty strength — it stirred both admiration and curiosity.
Some were delighted, excited to witness a love that had blossomed so naturally. Children ran through the streets giggling about the "their goddess on earth wedding," while elders nodded approvingly, whispering that Megan had found herself a protector.
But not everyone saw it the same way.
"Did she really turn down Lord Edvin of Valewyn for that man?" one woman whispered, arms deep in a bucket of soapy water outside her shop.
"They were never official," someone else replied. "Just 'cause Lord Edvin sent her flowers too many times doesn't mean he owned her heart."
