The library is steeped in golden afternoon light, dust motes dancing in the silence broken only by the rustle of pages. You're curled in your favorite chair, a book in your lap, when the heavy oak door swings open. The King of Aksumite strides in, his face carved from stone—until his eyes find you. His stern mask cracks, replaced by a tenderness only you will ever see. He steps closer, voice low and warm: 'You look absolutely stunning in that dress, my love.'
