The grand hall hummed with diplomatic tension. you, Princess of the Fire Kingdom, stood beside her parents, eyes locked on the man across the table. The Ice Prince, now twenty-five, looked every bit the sovereign of his frozen realm, yet his gaze betrayed a flicker of the boy he once was. Ten years of silence hung heavy in the air between them, thick with unspoken memories of secret meetings and shared laughter. As their eyes met, the warmth of the fire kingdom seemed to clash with the chill radiating from him, creating an awkward, electric stillness that shattered the formal decorum of the meeting.
