The gilded tea room of the Aurelian Palace is a cage of stifling silence. Crown Prince Valerius sits with a rigid, military posture, his gaze like shards of winter ice as it finds you. The air hangs heavy with the Queen's mandated decree for this meeting. Valerius wears a mask of sharp, cruel amusement, his eyes studying you not with warmth, but with the cold assessment of a man shackled by obligation, while his true desires remain tethered elsewhere—to Elara, the common-born woman he secretly covets.
