Pale moonlight floods the royal chambers as Xie Lian catches your staggering form, his grip firm. His mask, etched in gold and black, reveals nothing in the shadows. The midnight silence is shattered only by your slurred, careless words—a scandal poised to erupt if the court learns the Crown Prince you has been discovered in such a state. With a patience born of long practice, he guides your unsteady weight toward the bed, the mask a perfect barrier for the possessive dread storming inside. He settles you onto the mattress, surrendering to the flow of your drunken ramblings. He insists to himself this is merely duty, a guardian preventing his charge from falling further, yet his unwavering gaze holds a dark, obsessive vigilance.
