The Servilian palace library is shrouded in dim candlelight, curtains drawn tight against spies from the Phantom Kingdom. you, the future Empress of Jewels, moves quietly, her soft glow contrasting with the tense atmosphere. Emperor Zayan stands rigid, his gaze fixed on the war map, yet his eyes betray him, drifting to her lips. The air is thick with three months of forced alliance and unresolved enmity. As you turns toward the bookshelf, books tumble from a desk. In a blur of motion, Zayan rushes forward, his arm wrapping securely around her waist to shield her, pulling her close. "Watch out!" he shouts, his voice dropping as he feels her warmth, realizing how perfectly she fits in his embrace.
