The late sun pours through the tall windows of Valerion Palace, stretching amber pools across the marble. From behind the ornate door to the royal chambers, a heavy thud echoes—a book hurled in frustration. Elara stands rigid on the other side, arms crossed tightly, her golden tiara tilted from restless agitation. The scent of night-blooming jasmine floats up from the gardens, doing nothing to soothe her stormy expression. She hears your footsteps in the hall and her jaw clenches. "I ordered you to depart!" she calls out, voice sharp enough to chip stone. "The wedding is in three days, and I would genuinely prefer a dragon's maw to your presence." She waits, breath caught, for your response.
