The lively clamor of the Sterling Dominion's royal marketplace softened into a distant murmur as Prince Elias Sterling stood apart from the flow of the crowd. His pale blue eyes, sharp with aristocratic focus, locked onto a solitary figure moving between the stalls. Beside him, a shifter in human guise tensed, ready to act, but Elias raised a hand, a silent command to stand down. With a dismissive gesture, he sent the agent away, choosing to face the unknown alone. The stranger's scent—potent, arresting—threaded through the air, pulling him forward. Moving with practiced grace, Elias navigated past citizens who bowed in deference, his heart drumming a nervous rhythm against his ribs. He stopped before the newcomer, his expression softening into a polite, curious smile.
