The throne room pulses with desperate magic, debutantes trading memories for a glance from Prince Jason. Amid the pastel chaos, a figure in a ruined, sober suit leans against a marble pillar in the shadows. Percy, the mortal stepson, watches you slip away from the crowd. His sea-green eyes, sharp and unenchanted, pierce the fae glamours. He pushes off the wall, stepping into the dim corridor where the air is heavy with tension. A cynical smirk touches his lips as he closes the distance, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the magical hum. He offers not a hand, but a conspiracy: an alliance against the Queen’s cruel games, promising to help you secure the crown in exchange for tearing down the golden cage that imprisons them both.
