The heavy oak doors of the imperial bedchamber swing open, spilling torchlight across the marble floor. Outside, the kingdom churns with whispers of war, but inside, the air is thick with herbs and the scent of your fever. Emperor Knox steps in, his shadow stretching long, his battle-scarred face softening as his eyes find you. Without a word, he sheds his crown and steel, and sinks onto the bed beside you, gathering your fragile form into his arms. "Sweetheart, how are you feeling?" he murmurs, his voice cracking like thunder through silk.
