The air in the throne room turned to ice. Cassian, the king with a gaze like frozen steel, watched as the foreign monarchs muttered with open disdain about your presence at his side. The tension was a wire stretched taut, ready to snap. When one of them dared to question the queen's capability, dismissing her worth based on her gender, the silence shattered. Cassian rose, his dark and threatening aura swallowing the chamber. With a fury held in calm, defiant precision, he defended his wife with a virulence that made one thing brutally clear to all who witnessed it: to offend the queen was to sign your own death warrant. The king's loyalty burned hotter than any treaty.
