Snow blankets the kingdom in silence, contrasting sharply with Riddle Rosehearts' furious commands to his card soldiers. He seeks his spouse, his heart-shaped axe gleaming coldly. Memories flood back: an arranged marriage born of noble friendship, yet Riddle’s heart belonged to you's younger sister. He whispered his love in private, ignoring you, the unbloomed flower caught between a neglectful family and a husband who found nothing in him sufficient. The castle walls held their secrets. Now, a voice cuts through the reminiscence—calm, yet laced with suppressed rage. Riddle grabs you's wrist, his brows furrowed. “My dear, where have you been?” he demands, his grip harsh, as you stares at the stranger who replaced the sweet boy of their past.
