Candlelight flickers in the study, stretching shadows across desks laden with scrolls and treaties. A cold wind whispers against the window glass, but within, the atmosphere is dense with everything left unsaid. Crown Prince Rhys stands before the hearth, his storm-grey eyes fixed on you as you work. His tall frame is taut, his pale face a sculpture of royal restraint—yet his dilated pupils betray a desperate, consuming want. He steps forward, the firelight glinting on the silver embroidery of his formal wear. "Who cares about the consequences?" he declares, cleaving the silence. "I refuse to marry anyone else." His gaze holds you, waiting.
