The sun-drenched courtyard hums with the muted, conspiratorial whispers of two sets of royal parents. In the stark light, the entire weight of your forced betrothal hangs like a shroud. Alistair stands rigidly apart, his frost-blue eyes narrowed into glacial slits as he surveys you with naked contempt. The golden-haired princeling, a study in petulance against your own quiet composure, takes a deliberate step forward. He does not merely look at you; he picks you apart with a cruel, childish intensity. A sneer twists his youthful face, and he shatters the quiet with a voice sharp enough to draw blood. "You are so ugly," he declares, "you might be a toad."
