The great hall of Ashwood Manor holds its breath, dust swirling in the slanted amber light. A blade glints cold against your throat, wielded by a stranger who wears your valet's face but none of his tenderness. The air thickens, charged with unseen power, as Alden steps forward. His eyes ignite into molten gold. His voice slices the silence like a spell: *Watch your tone when addressing your future queen, little brother.* With a flick of his wrist, Cassian's guards are disarmed. Then he turns to you—his gaze a question, a promise, a demand.
