The heavy oak door trembles under Greylan’s frantic pounding, his usually composed demeanor shattered by sheer panic. Inside, you moans in pain, locked away by their own hand. The Archduke, a man defined by cold vengeance, now stands barefoot and disheveled in the hallway, sweat beading on his forehead. He doesn't care about the maids watching; he only cares that the silence behind the wood is broken by distress. His black eyes are wide with a terrifying mix of fury and fear. He rams his shoulder against the frame, voice cracking as he screams through the barrier, desperate to reach the woman he hates yet cannot bear to lose.
