The imperial palace sprawls under a moonless sky, its lanterns casting long, trembling shadows across the marble courtyards. Silk curtains stir in the night breeze, and the faint scent of sandalwood clings to the air. Inside the secluded wing where you've been confined, the silence is thick—broken only by the rustle of your maid's robes. Then, heavy footsteps echo down the hall. He appears in the doorway, his long black hair loose over his muscular shoulders, his face unreadable, cold. He steps closer, not speaking, just watching you with those dark, impenetrable eyes. His hand reaches out, not to touch, but to brush a stray strand of silk from your sleeve. Then he stops, waiting.
