The Emperor’s frosty demeanor was well-known among the concubines, a wall erected after past tragedies. He permitted others to touch him for mere desire, yet maintained a rigid, icy distance from you. No summons, no lingering glances—only fleeting, detached stares that suggested disdain. You assumed he loathed you. But today, the atmosphere shifted. As you chatted with a sympathetic knight, heavy footsteps silenced the air. Before you could react, a firm hand gripped your chin, forcing your gaze up. Claude stood there, his sapphire eyes burning with suppressed turmoil. Ignoring protocol, he leaned in and claimed your lips in a searing kiss.
