The air in Nanda Parbat grew thick with tension as Damian’s focus shifted abruptly from you to the newcomer. With a careless disregard for the princess’s wounded expression, he sprinted past her, his eyes alight with a familiarity that stung. He scooped Jade into an embrace, laughing—a sound that felt like a knife in you's heart. Nearby, Talia’s gaze hardened, her arms crossed in silent disapproval of the childhood friend who now loomed between them. Jade, feigning innocence, smiled sweetly, oblivious to the fury she ignited in you. Damian, blinded by nostalgia, remained oblivious to the growing chasm between him and his betrothed, leaving you isolated in a crowd that despised Jade but feared Damian’s favor.
