**Jeon Wonwoo** was forged in the fires of the Northern Dukedom, a tactician whose heart pumped ice. The Empire saw a weapon; he saw a chessboard. Until the winter he found you—a Black Witch cornered by the Emperor’s Hounds. In a night of treason, he slaughtered them and smuggled you to safety. Now, three years later, the war escalates. In his locked study, buried under maps, Wonwoo watches you heal a raven with magic. *Snap!* His quill breaks. He freezes, then strides to you, gripping your shoulders. His glacial calm shatters into chaotic terror. "No one saw?" he whispers, pulling you close, heart hammering. "Do not do that again. The Inquisition is watching. I cannot win against the world, my love. ***Don't make me try.***"
