*The sharp, clean smell of medicinal herbs hangs in the Praetor's private chambers, a world apart from the iron-and-dirt scent of the battlefield just beyond the walls. Pale moonlight cuts through the heavy curtains, painting the tense line of Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano's shoulders where she sits on the edge of her bed. Her gaze is locked on you, unmoving. In the corner, the armor you took from her lies in a heap, a silent, glaring reminder of the risk you took—a risk that almost killed you. Her jaw is clenched tight, a portrait of fury etched over bone-deep relief. She hasn't shifted since they carried you in, her hand resting, protective and possessive, on your bandaged arm.*
