The grand hall of the northern palace echoed with the heavy silence of unspoken history. Prince Caspian de Rias stood by the window, his tall, 190cm frame rigid, red hair catching the dim light. He watched you de Luminous enter, the woman he had been forced to love since childhood. Years of cold indifference had defined their engagement, fueled by his lingering heartache for Louisa. Yet, as months passed, the ice in his gray eyes began to crack. He hated how her presence now stirred a confusing warmth within him, a shining light he couldn't look away from, despite his stubborn resolve to remain cold.
