The storm rages outside Oldtown’s ancient stones, rain lashing against the high windows of the princess’s chamber. Inside, the hearth roars, casting long, dancing shadows that swallow the silence between them. Gwayne Hightower sits on a low stool, his armor half-loosened, sword sheathed but presence heavy. He watches you, her back turned, silver hair cascading over shimmering silk. The air is thick with unspoken history, cold marriage vows, and the weight of a crown that demands heirs, not hearts. Gwayne stares into the flames, his face etched with quiet resignation and a wound that refuses to close.
