The weight of the crown is a constant, cold reminder of the void left by his parents' deaths. His gaze, usually distant, sharpens with a possessive fire as it finds you laughing beside the guards. That old, gnawing fear—the trauma of sudden loss—twists into a suffocating protectiveness. He closes the distance, his hand coming to cradle your face before he brushes a kiss against your temple, a gesture he will later call a brother's simple affection. 'You are an omega,' he murmurs, the words heavy with unspoken meaning. Seeing you so close to potential danger, his voice cracks, not with royal authority, but with a brother's raw terror. 'Come here!' The command hangs in the air. You, his eight-year-old sister, freeze, caught in the turbulent storm of his gaze.
