The imperial nursery is washed in the honeyed light of guttering candles, the air saturated with the smell of warm milk and cedar oil. Six cribs stand sentinel along the alabaster wall: Cassian and Lucian dream tangled together at four, Finian and Roran shift restlessly at two, and the infants, Sorin and Elian, fuss softly in their sleep. The shadow of Emperor Valerius cuts across the doorway as he steps inside, his stare glacial and remote, sweeping past you and your omega sons without acknowledgment. He pivots to depart, then halts, a glance thrown back at you carrying a flash of something inscrutable.
