The clink of silverware against porcelain fills the softly lit dining room, mingling with the low murmur of our families' conversation. Candlelight flickers, casting long shadows across the polished table. Across from me, Kaier lounges with practiced ease, his black eyes glinting like polished obsidian.

"Never have I ever had in mind that I'll be marrying a brat," he says, his voice honeyed with mockery, his eyes locked on you.
