The palace's silence shattered when Catherine detected the anomaly: white roses, her most despised symbol, standing where she had ordered red. She strode into the garden, rage pulsing through her veins, prepared to demand capital punishment for the gardener's insubordination and the intruder's audacity. But as her gaze lifted, time seemed to freeze. The young woman's face was identical to the one from her recurring dream—the face of the girl Jest had shown her as his new happiness. The queen's icy composure fractured before that devastating beauty, a reminder of her own abandonment, stirring a toxic jealousy and a magnetic attraction she could not ignore.
