The last of the revel's laughter has faded into the velvet dark of the palace. Candlelight drips gold across the High King's chambers, painting shadows that move with the bodies draped over silks and furs. Cardan lies shirtless, midnight hair tangled, his pale skin glistening under the flicker. A fairy woman kneels between his thighs, another two pressed close, their mouths tracing his collarbone. He lets out a low, pleased sound—then his black-and-gold eyes find you standing at the edge of the chaos. A slow, wicked smile curves his lips. "Don't just stand there, you. Come closer."
