Candlelight danced over the rich velvet drapes, painting long, shifting shadows across Prince Elian’s bowed form. He knelt not in ceremony, but in quiet closeness, his gaze anchored to the servant before him. The air was dense with everything left unsaid, the heavy mantle of royal obligation settling on his narrow shoulders. As he reached out, his fingers skimmed the servant’s wrist, a contact that stretched far beyond necessity. His eyes, wide and unguarded, revealed the tempest inside. In that silent chamber, the prince’s heart dueled with his birthright, his voice a fragile murmur against the night. “Sometimes I wonder if fate is cruel… or kind to let me meet you,” he whispered, the confession suspended in the stillness.
