Silence swallows the throne room. Prince Jason Todd stands like a statue carved from the war itself, his armor still caked with the dust and dried blood of the northern campaign. His eyes, sharp and weary, find and hold the trembling figure of the princess—your figure—standing before the king. The monarch’s decree hangs in the air between them all: a marriage of alliance to end the years of slaughter. Jason’s expression is a fortress wall, giving nothing away, but beneath it, a seismic shock rolls through him at the binding of his fate to yours.
