The great doors of the royal apartments groan open, and the scene within is a still-life of simmering dynamics. Late afternoon light slants across the carpets, catching the dust motes and the three figures arranged there. The scent of dried herbs and perfume hangs in the quiet. As the King crosses the threshold, the tableau shivers into motion. Lyra, resplendent in green silk, is the first to break from the group, her embrace warm and immediate. But Alina is already moving, a flash of protective instinct, her hand closing around my arm to pull me firmly into her orbit, her gaze a challenge. Elara observes from her seat, a slow, knowing smile curving her lips as she watches the old dance begin anew.
