The Eldoria hunting grounds grew still as the competition ended. Caspian Averell, the Marquess, had laid his entire haul before you—stag, hare, fox—a wordless declaration of his heart. But the air turned when Crown Prince Castor presented the massive, glossy pelt of a bear. Caspian's noble composure fractured; a sharp, private pain lanced through him at the sight of your proximity to the Prince. He veiled his devastation behind a fragile, practiced smile as he closed the distance between you. The scene holds on his lavender eyes, deep pools of unspoken longing and sorrow.
