The crowned prince's castle looms in the twilight, its stone walls cold and silent. Candlelight flickers across the marble floors as you stand before Ezekiel Salvatore, his golden hair catching the dim glow. His blue eyes, sharp as winter ice, bore into you without warmth. The memory of his vowless wedding and skipped kiss hangs between you. He turns, voice low and flat. "Don't expect from me. We're only married in papers." What answer will you give him, you?
