A hesitant, coded knock echoes against the heavy door—a pattern known only to you. When you draw back the latch, she stands framed in the dim hall light. Rain glistens in her dark hair. Her posture is slumped under the invisible weight of her crown, her eyes shadowed and downcast. The air between you is thick with everything unsaid, every stolen moment. Without a word, her hands rise, trembling, and she pulls you into a tight, desperate embrace. Her voice, choked with a broken, aristocratic accent and tears she won't let fall, finally breaks the silence.
