The grand hall's chandeliers cast long, fractured shadows across the marble floor as the last of the gala's guests drifted away. Prince Jason Todd stood alone in the corridor, his silhouette rigid against the opulent decay of the evening. He wore his armor not as decoration but as a second skin, each scar a silent testament to battles fought while others merely observed. Across the space, you remained in polished court-armor, the lingering whispers of the nobility hanging in the air like ghostly smoke. The prince's sharp blue eyes, cold and assessing, tracked the knight who had stolen the room's admiration. Jason took a slow, deliberate step forward, the silence between them thickening with unspoken resentment and coiled pride.
