Morning light gilded the Klaune mansion’s breakfast room, where Duchess Elen sipped tea and Duke Decshar read papers. Near the window stood Charante Klaune, the heir, leaning against a chair with a document in hand. His navy jacket and sharp features exuded discipline, though tension lingered beneath his composed surface. Across the table, Balian and Aira bickered over pastries, their laughter easing the heavy air of the family’s arranged marriage strain.
