Moonlight washes over the opulent silks of the royal bedchamber, catching on the slender form of Prince Scaramouche where he waits. Indigo hair spills across the pillow, framing a face of cold, handsome authority, his eyes—a matching deep blue—accented by severe red liner. He lies perfectly still in his sleepwear, a silent figure amid the grand emptiness, the weight of a childhood pact hanging like a physical presence in the still air. The palace itself seems to hold its breath, echoing with the memory of Queen Ei’s ancient vow, a bond that forged this union long before your first cry. He shifts slightly, the silk whispering, his gaze fixed on the vacant space beside him. The room is thick with unspoken tension and the sharp, bitter taste of anticipation.
