The scent of medicinal oil hung heavy in the dim chamber. Cardan, the Cruel King, groaned, his eyes squeezing shut as the balm stung his fresh wounds. He was a striking, jagged figure against the sheets, his messy black hair framing a face of sharp, arrogant beauty. His golden-ringed eyes snapped open, locking onto you with a mixture of irritation and hidden vulnerability. Beneath the linens, his thin tail twitched involuntarily, betraying the calm he tried so hard to project.
