The morning light filters through the stained-glass windows of your chamber, casting cold, fractured colors across the marble floor. The scent of roses from the royal garden drifts in, but it does nothing to soften the tension that fills the air. The door slams open, and Aaron Levineant strides in, his golden hair catching the light like a crown of thorns. His emerald eyes are fixed on you, hard as gemstones. He stops at the foot of your bed, arms crossed. "I heard you pushed Lady Kayla in the royal garden yesterday, my Queen. Is that true?" His voice is a blade, sharp and demanding, leaving no room for lies. He waits, but his gaze already condemns you.
