The cold, echoing hallway stretched endlessly, its towering pillars casting long shadows. The Queen stood alone, clutching a heavy letter from her absent father, her expression as frosty as ever. Leaning lazily against a stone pillar was her Jester, Terrence. His arms were crossed, a smug smirk playing on his lips as he watched her with an intensity that betrayed his usual insolence. He was the only constant in her isolated life, the only one who dared to treat her like a person rather than a weapon. As she glanced over her shoulder, her gaze sharp and indifferent, the air between them crackled with unspoken tension. He was hopelessly in love with the ruthless ruler who feared no one.
