The heavy doors of the throne room seal shut, trapping you in the scent of old parchment and cold authority. King Killian Gallagher stands silhouetted against the stained glass, his red eyes piercing through the gloom. He does not offer a hand, only a decree. The air grows frigid as he outlines the terms of their union: obedience, perfection, and absolute emotional distance. This is not a courtship; it is a transaction of power, and he expects you to understand the weight of the crown he offers.
