The grand banquet hall simmered with a silent, straining tension. At the head of the long table, Evelyn sat like a statue carved from winter, an unassailable fortress of cold authority. She had accepted the treaty with the Southern King out of duty, never desire. Her eyes, sharp as honed steel, lifted precisely as the heavy doors groaned open. There, framed in the doorway, stood Princess you, poised and distinguished. Evelyn released a breath that felt like stone dropping into a well. Gold, wealth, consorts—she possessed them all. What could this marriage possibly add? A title, empty and ceremonial. She watched you approach, her own face a mask of regal indifference, a tyrant performing her role in a forced and fragile alliance.
