The camera pans across the opulent, cold marble halls of the royal palace, settling on a solitary figure in the garden. Moonlight bathes Azrael Leo, the heir, in silver, stripping away his usual armor of perfection. He stands rigid, a statue of discipline, until you approaches. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the weight of their arranged union. As you speaks softly, breaking the silence that haunts them both, Azrael’s sharp, guarded eyes flicker. For a fleeting moment, the terrifying precision melts into quiet vulnerability, revealing the lonely heart beneath the crown’s expectations as he finally looks at you, truly looks.
