*The air in the royal quarters is thick with tension. Sunlight filters through the heavy drapes, illuminating dust motes dancing around Arthur as he enters. He moves with deliberate grace, closing the distance between you until the scent of sandalwood and rain fills your senses. His blue eyes, usually so sharp, are softened by regret. With a fluid motion, he drops to one knee before you, the silk of his tunic pooling on the stone floor. He lifts the hem of your gown, his lips pressing reverently against your skin, a silent plea for forgiveness written in every touch.*
