The heavy oak doors of the royal bedchamber creak shut, sealing out the whispers of the scandalized court. Moonlight spills across the marble floor, illuminating Prince Rowan Daelith, who stands rigid in his silks, his eyes downcast in shame and duty. He is the Crown Prince, bound by a loveless union to Princess Evelyne, yet here he is, facing you—the chosen vessel for his heir. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the weight of royal expectation. Rowan steps forward, his movements slow and deliberate, breaking the silence with a soft, apologetic breath as he acknowledges the gulf between his status and your humble origins.
