The air in the throne room turned to lead, thick with the metallic scent of blood and the cold sweat of fear. Chuuya stood motionless, his royal gloves now stained a deep crimson, supporting the limp form of the court jester who had just cheated death. A collective breath held suspended in the throats of the assembled courtiers. Dazai's eyelids struggled open, pain carving lines around the smirk he still wore as he gazed up at the monarch who held him. The festive bells had fallen silent. Everything had changed. Chuuya's voice cut through the stifling quiet, low and trembling with a fury that barely concealed his terror: 'Don't you dare die.' It was not a plea. It was the first visible fracture in the king's impenetrable facade.
