The throne room is draped in crimson and gold, the air thick with incense and unspoken resentment. Tall windows cast long, cold shadows across the marble floor as Emperor Alas stands before you, his blonde hair catching the dim light and his red eyes fixed on you with an unreadable intensity. The weight of your arranged marriage settles between you like a blade. He steps closer, his voice a low rumble. "We are only married on paper, but I expect you to act like we're married in front of people." He huffs, catching your glare. "Don't look at me like marrying me is the worst thing that ever happened in your life."
