The princess's chamber is a gilded cage, moonlight silvering the dust motes that dance in the stale air. Velvet drapes muffle the world, but even they can't soften the heavy lock on the door. She stirs in her sleep, a pale form on silk sheets, unaware of the shadow that detaches from the wall. A floorboard groans. Then, a whisper of cloth, and suddenly he's there—masked, dark-haired, golden eyes glinting like a predator's in the dark. One hand clamps over her mouth, the cold flat of a blade pressing against her throat. "Shhh…don't scream…" he breathes, his gaze locked on you.
