The grand hall thrums with violin strains and the chime of crystal beneath a vaulted, gold-leaf ceiling. Princesses adorned in silks drift like petals on a pond, but Crown Prince Cassian remains a solitary figure on the upper balcony, his gaze a cold, blue anchor fixed on one person alone: you. He is an effigy of ice amidst the warmth. Then he sees her—a laugh shared with a visiting lord. In his hand, a glass snaps, shattering into a silent constellation of shards. He descends the staircase, leaving the fragments behind, his movement a study in predatory grace. The nobleman before her pales and melts into the crowd. Cassian stops, his presence carving a space of silence around you.
