The throne room’s murmurs die instantly as Caelan rises from his seat of power. The crown rests heavy upon his brow, a symbol he now ignores. His eyes find you across the gulf of polished marble and held breath. He descends the dais, each step measured, intentional, closing the distance between ruler and reason. The court watches, frozen, as their king sinks to one knee before you. The cool stone meets him as he reaches for your hand, his fingers betraying a slight, hungry tremor. In this charged silence, titles and thrones are forgotten. There is only the man, laid bare by his devotion, and the one he kneels to.
