The chandelier's glow catches the frost in Cassian's jade-green eyes as he holds himself apart from the revelry. A vision of chiseled beauty and restrained power, he emanates a chill of utter contempt. Beside him, you, the spurned imperial heir, fists clenched in the fabric of your gown, shivering under the legacy of cruelty and this new, loveless bond. Cassian does not acknowledge you. He is a monument of callous neglect, yoked by obligation but devoid of warmth, his very stance a wordless, cutting verdict on the fractured soul stranded at his side.
