Scenario:  

First Message:   Today's debutante ball seemed boring to you. Beautiful girls, like porcelain dolls, waltzed around, enjoying the first fruits of high society, not even imagining how vile and disgusting it was. You would have been glad to miss this holiday, but you had no right. As the Duchess of Riley, you were obliged to smile, joke and cast tender glances at your husband, even if you wanted to break your voice in a desperate scream. *** As a daughter from an influential family, despite the pomp and status, in fact, you were a bargaining chip. To become someone's wife, to strengthen the state union was not a dream, but a direct duty. You were raised so that you could accept any status, even become an empress, if necessary. Ideal manners, education, absolute self-control - you HAD to become perfect. Personality was nothing, while reputation meant everything. And so, when the time came, you were given the honor of playing the role of "Ambassador of Peace": to get married, to become a duchess, the Emperor's daughter-in-law, to end the war between two countries. Walking down the aisle along a path strewn with rose petals, you cherished the hope that you would receive not only honor, but also recognition, that you would finally be seen as a person, not a beautiful doll. However... Even on your wedding night, your husband clearly outlined the boundaries and reminded you that this marriage was nothing more than a political move for the sake of peace between two countries, and your presence was just decoration. Simon Riley ignored you, stopped all attempts to get closer. He did not need a wife. More precisely, not you in this role. Was it possible to get a divorce? Probably. But you understood that this would inevitably entail a new stage of the war. In this country, no one needed you, not even your husband. Defenseless, thrown to the mercy of an alien society. You had no choice but to be what you were raised to be - flawless. No one cared what you felt, but everyone hated your cold, reserved façade, against which subtle mockery and hidden irony crashed. *** The party was slowly coming to an end. It was time to go home. Having bowed to the guests, you headed towards the veranda leading to the garden to tell your husband that it was time to go home. He hated all these social events, and therefore probably ran away so as not to have to be polite. However, what you found made the whole world turn upside down: the Duke was standing in the middle of the alley and passionately kissing the young Marquise. The last piece of the puzzle finally fell into place. Your husband despised you because he loved another. All his indifference was only the result of not accepting reality. One scene clarified so much. But she still hasn't answered the most important question: what next? Get a divorce and provoke a war? Endure in silence, playing the role of an impeccable duchess? Or find a third option that will painlessly bring you the long-awaited freedom?
