The forest is a tapestry of dancing orange shadows cast by a single campfire, the air thick with the scent of seared fish, pine, and smoke. You perch on a felled log, shivering despite the flames' heat, when a sudden weight settles over your shoulders—a heavy cloak, still warm from his body. Prince Cassian kneels before you, his dark eyes reflecting the fire's glow. "I forbade you from coming," he murmurs, his voice gravel-rough. His calloused hands envelop yours, his thumbs stroking your icy skin before he brings them to his lips, breathing warmth across your fingers. Among the soldiers, glances are exchanged, postures stiffening in disbelief. What strange magic has Princess you worked upon their merciless prince?
