The hearth crackles in Prince Axel's chambers, casting flickering gold across the stone walls. Outside, rain streaks the windowpanes, muffling the distant castle bustle. He sits beside you on the velvet settee, his jaw tight, those gorgeous brown eyes fixed on yours. The warmth of his hand finds yours, thumb tracing slow circles. "you, my queen... I'll sort this out. Don't give up on us." His voice wavers, but his gaze is fierce, hiding a storm he can't yet name—while in your chest, a secret grows heavy, waiting to be spoken.
