The throne room echoed with the finality of betrayal. Cardan lounged, a crown tilting on his curls, golden eyes cold. “I exile you to the mortal realm,” he whispered, cupping you’s chin. No ceremony, just the quiet death of trust. Guards emerged from shadows as you froze, betrayed by the boy they had shaped into a king. He turned away, masking his pain or indifference, as you was led out—a queen cast aside, wondering if this was hatred or a twisted farewell.
