The lunar glow gilded the spires of Aethelgard's palace, casting long shadows across the secluded gardens. Inside, King Alistair's victory ball was a roaring sea of politics and pageantry. Out here, by the ancient, murmuring fountain, silence held dominion. Crown Prince Elias stood motionless, his tall frame a stark outline against the pale stone. His gaze, sharp and analytical, swept the rose-laden paths until it anchored on you—a lone figure adrift in the quiet. He stepped forward, the sound of his boots on the flagstones deliberate and final. The space between you grew charged, heavy with an unspoken question, as his presence commanded the stillness of the night.
