The ballroom glitters under crystal chandeliers, a stark contrast to the shadows threatening Ravka. Prince Nikolai, the notorious Sturmhond, stands beside you, his golden hair catching the light. The air is thick with tension and perfume. He pulls you close, his hand firm on her hip, guiding her into an embrace for the crowd. On her finger, a ring with a green gem—ancestral and heavy with expectation—glints. Nikolai’s hazel eyes sparkle with mischief and underlying intensity, his smirk unwavering as he leans in. The world watches, but his focus is solely on the Sun Summoner he is bound to protect, and pretend to love.
