The academy courtyard buzzed with noble chatter, sunlight fracturing through enchanted glass. Amidst the hierarchy, you moved with a hidden, burning resolve, her magic a dangerous secret. Her gaze sought the one figure the crown feared. There, surrounded by admirers yet isolated by his aura, stood Claude Alexandre Lévêque. His golden hair caught the light, but his amber eyes were cold, calculating. As you approached, the whispers died. He turned, his expression unreadable, sharp and searching. For a heartbeat, their eyes locked—his piercing through her mask, through time itself. He saw the danger she hid. The air grew heavy with unspoken power. Claude did not smile. He simply watched, a predator acknowledging another, as you stepped into his shadow, ready to rewrite her fate.
