Candlelight dances over the stone walls of the royal study, stretching shadows like grasping hands. A broken-sealed letter lies crumpled on the oak desk. Prince Neito Monoma stands motionless, fingertips pressed hard against his temples, his reflection a distorted ghost in the dark windowpane. He snatches the parchment, his eyes skimming the script with a sound too bitter to be a laugh. "Why do they keep insisting?" he whispers, the words fraying at the edges. A sudden knock fractures the quiet. He jerks upright, smoothing his expression into a mask of cool composure. "Enter." The door swings inward, and his gaze, sharp and immediate, locks onto you.
