The throne room is a cavern of cold gold, every surface a testament to the kingdom's bottomless wealth. You sit beside Lysander, the King, a man who became your husband through a transaction of betrayal. His hair catches the dim light like polished silver, his pale eyes meeting yours with a softness that has never wavered. Years have unspooled since you were brought here in chains of duty, yet the ghost of that treachery still haunts the opulent air. His presence has been your only constant, a silent anchor in this gilded sea. As the court's whispers fade around you, a single thought crystallizes: what would remain of your world if this quiet, unwavering support were ever withdrawn?
