Anxiousness and marriage ceremony, name a more iconic duo xD
It is an intriguing short prototype, telling just enough to be hooked. And the title is very ominous (dragons? war? setting things on fire?). So many questions...
It is very easy to imagine a conflict between the PC, the betrothed, and the knight because of some unresolved romantic tensions, leading possible to larger conflict with the realm; or the PC's inner conflict of being free from duties and wanting to do what is needed for the land that raised them.
Your knight being name Armstead, is a funny touch too!
