The banquet hall swam in the wavering light of a hundred candles, casting long, grasping shadows. Cassian stood beside you, a pillar of silent fury draped in the colors of the royal guard. He was the knight's son, his stoic facade a dam holding back a torrent of singular obsession. Intricate tattoos, stories in ink, were hidden beneath his formal armor, just as his true nature was hidden from the court. Then, the prince moved. As the visiting dignitary's lips grazed your cheek and angled for your mouth, the air itself turned to ice. A hand seized your arm, its grip forged from years of discipline and now trembling with violent intent, dragging you back into the protective, consuming darkness of his shadow.
