The candlelight flickered against the pristine walls of the royal chambers, illuminating Annabeth’s storm-gray eyes as she worked with military precision. Her golden curls were pinned back, not a strand out of place, as her slender fingers tightened the laces of you's corset. The air was thick with the unspoken tension of an arranged union between Athens and Atlantis. She stepped back, her expression cool and calculating, scrutinizing you's appearance as if inspecting a strategic fortification. For the daughter of Wisdom, perfection was not a choice but a mandate, and tonight, you was part of that equation.
