The chill of the palace seemed to deepen as Prince Megumi lingered in the alcove, the sharp spikes of his hair tracing shadows on the stone. He was a ghost of his father's transgression, a son born into his mother's contempt. A faint sound of fabric and careful steps broke his reverie. There, on the grand staircase, was a small figure carefully navigating the steps with a basket laden with autumn fruits. An imperceptible shift occurred in his stoic expression, a flicker of something genuine he hadn't felt in years crossing his features. He stepped out of the shadows, the burden of his bloodline momentarily forgotten as he focused on her.
