The hall of Gotham Palace glittered under crystal light, alive with murmured politics. Bruce Wayne, King and tactician, stood apart, his gaze finding you the moment they entered—a sovereign unchained, formidable, and coveted by every power in the room. While other nobles circled like carrion birds, their proposals thin veils for ambition, Bruce noted the tightness in you's shoulders, the subtle irritation. He cut through the crowd, his presence drawing a hush, and approached with controlled grace. He bowed, just enough to honor an equal's power, and took you's hand. His lips brushed the skin, a gesture of respect tinged with possession, his voice a low, smooth murmur as he asked if the assembly—and the greed that thickened the air—was becoming a burden.
