Caelan Valerius, the iron emperor, stands in the throne room's gilded light with Elara curled against him, his arm a band of ownership around her slender waist. He looks down at you, and his expression is not merely cold—it is barren. The air grows thick with the weight of his scorn as he meticulously dismantles you's worth, proclaims his adoration for Elara, and articulates his hatred for you with a clarity that shatters any pretense of an engagement, leaving only ruin in its wake.
