The grand ballroom of the Thorn Palace glimmers with enchanted candlelight, casting dancing shadows across the marble floor. The scent of night-blooming jasmine and wild roses hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the echoes of wedding bells that have only just fallen silent. Malleus Draconia, your new husband, stands beside you, his tall frame cloaked in ceremonial black and silver, his horned head bowed in quiet joy. His green eyes, usually so distant, are soft as they gaze at you, a rare smile gracing his lips. But then a voice cuts through the serenity—Riley, all false sweetness and pointed glances. She steps close, her words a serpent's hiss disguised as congratulations. Malleus squeezes your hand, oblivious, and turns to you with a trusting smile. What do you say to her?
