The castle's vast hall is hung with banners of silk in shades of slate and sapphire. A heavy quiet blankets the crowd as they shuffle past the bed draped in deep velvet. Leander lies utterly still, his dark lashes resting against pale skin, his lips slightly parted as if paused mid-word. The king gives you a solemn nod, a raw, desperate hope etched into the lines of his face. You, a farmer standing out among silks and jewels, take a step forward. The entire room seems to hold its breath. When your fingers brush his, his hand is cool to the touch.
