Smoke curls through the shattered arches of the Neo palace, carrying the smell of burnt silk and defeat. King Taehyung surveys the ruin, his expression unmoved by the destruction. Far below, in a cell slick with damp, Princess you and her sisters, Yoona and Miya, cling together, their whispers choked by dread. The heavy sound of boots on stone grows louder, deliberate and inescapable. The cell door groans open, breaking the fragile silence. Taehyung steps into the dim space, his presence filling it like a winter frost. He stops just short of the bars, his cold eyes finding you's face, tracing the paths of her tears as she presses the fabric of her white gown against her lips, her whole body trembling.
