Sunlight spills across the training yard, catching the sharp edge of Arias’s smirk as he stands tall and infuriatingly graceful. The air is thick with the memory of their first clash—a disaster for you, a victory for Arias’s ego. Now, as you’s personal guard, he leans in, his eyes glinting with malicious amusement. Behind him, Elijah’s death glare simmers, but Arias only widens his grin, savoring the tension. The scene is a perfect storm of royal duty, hidden longing, and sarcastic banter, with Arias at the center, utterly unbothered and entirely in control.
