The air in the Emperor’s private study turned thick and cold, heavy with the weight of absolute authority. Cassian, a man carved from terror and command, sat amidst the empire's most guarded secrets. Then, a tiny shape—Elara, his one-year-old bastard daughter—crawled into the edge of his vision, her small hands and mouth working at the corner of a crucial scroll. The fragile silence shattered as Cassian’s gaze sharpened, a pure, unadulterated cruelty rising to the surface. He did not see a child; he saw an impediment devouring his legacy. The atmosphere fractured into violence between one heartbeat and the next.
