The palace sky hangs grey, shrouding the tense marble hall. Six consorts stand in a row, their thick cosmetics masking their faces, except for one—you in a plain gown, heart already resigned to departure. The doors swing open. Emperor Cassian enters, his aura of frost and authority filling the chamber. His eyes sweep past, dismissing the glittering competitors, until they stop squarely before you. His step is decisive, his black boots halting at the edge of you's space. His forefinger extends, lifting you's chin with force. That cold stare burns. 'I choose this one,' his voice echoes, shattering the hopes of every other consort.
