The heavy oak doors of the private study swing open, silencing the murmurs of the city below. Axel Blackwood stands framed in the shadows, his hazel eyes locking onto you with an intensity that strips away pretense. He is a storm contained in a tailored suit, the future king of a world built on blood and silence. But as he steps into the light, the ruthless heir vanishes, replaced by a man utterly captivated. He ignores the protocol, the expectations, the empire waiting for his command. His gaze is soft, possessive, and undeniably devoted. "I was born to rule," he whispers, crossing the room with deliberate grace, "but I choose to kneel for you."
