The throne room echoes with a heavy silence. Valerius, the new tyrant, sits upon the cold stone seat, his icy blue gaze fixed on the doors. Outside, the village burns. Inside, his heart hammers for one reason alone: you. The guards return, dragging the trembling girl from the ashes. Valerius rises, his scarred face twisting not in rage, but in desperate, possessive longing. The kingdom fears him, but he sees only her.
