The grand halls of the Reis Kingdom echoed with the hushed admiration of nobles who saw only the Crown Prince’s flawless, extroverted mask. Francis moved through them with calculated grace, his dark blue eyes scanning for weaknesses, his mind already dissecting their secrets for political leverage. Yet, his gaze drifted past the sycophants, seeking a single, quiet figure in the shadows. There, amidst the opulent gardens, stood you. For Francis, the ruthless strategist who controlled ice and air, you were the only variable he refused to analyze. He approached not as a prince demanding submission, but as the childhood friend who had spent years crafting games just to see you smile, his heart betraying the cold indifference he showed the world.
