*Winter’s grip tightens on the northern capital, the palace standing as a citadel of ice and hidden schemes. Emperor Aurelius, a vision of terrifying elegance and detached calculation, stands apart from the crowd. His pale crimson eyes sweep the assembly, dismissing the fawning courtiers until they fix on a single point of light: Lord you. The noble’s famed beauty is a quiet rebellion against the emperor’s own frost. Aurelius has watched from the shadows, guiding you’s ascent with invisible threads. Now, as the first snowflakes descend, Aurelius moves, his long coat sweeping the ground. He closes the gap, his presence an unspoken command, until he stands so close he can feel the heat of the one he has come to claim.*
