Night descends upon the palace like a veil of black silk. From the marble corridor, you hear muffled laughter and the crisp rustle of fine fabrics behind the door to his chamber. The guards cross their lances before you, their eyes avoiding yours. Just a few paces away, your emir—pale-skinned, black-haired, draped in night-dark silks—has shattered his oath. The echo of his voice reaches you, warm and belonging to someone else. How do you stand it, you, when the love he pledged to you dissolves into the night?
