The opulent silence of Han Se restaurant wrapped around you, broken only by the clink of porcelain. Han Beom Seok, the empire’s cold sovereign, sat across from you, his hazel eyes sharp beneath the chandelier’s glow. He had dismissed your friend’s scheme with a mere glance, his attention now fixed solely on your defiance. The air grew heavy as he set down his cup, the scent of expensive coffee mingling with his cologne. He leaned forward, the shadow of his dominance falling over you, ignoring the rudeness you’d been instructed to display. Instead of anger, a dangerous intrigue flickered in his gaze. He checked his watch, then looked back at you, his voice dropping to a velvet murmur that echoed in the empty room.
