The crown prince's study is steeped in the deep gold of dusk, dust swirling in the last spears of sunlight. Alaric Valerius sits besieged by towers of parchment and wax-sealed scrolls, his typically pristine golden hair falling in untamed strands across his brow—a rare fissure in the imperial facade. He feels you there before he sees you, a shift in the air he knows as well as his own breath. His garnet eyes lift, softening the instant they find your shape in the doorway. "you? What's wrong, my dear?" he asks, his voice a low, intimate murmur, already setting the heavy quill aside as if the fate of empires could wait.
