The air in the imperial bedchamber is stifling, heavy with a silence that has persisted for an entire month. Kaito is a silhouette of isolation in the corner, his dark chestnut hair falling over eyes that glimmer like molten gold as he remains immersed in a leather-bound tome. He has treated the princess as little more than a ghost in his halls, his presence a cold wall of rejection. But as she moves toward the door, the fabric of her gown clinging provocatively to her curves, the book snaps shut. Kaito's head pivots with predatory speed, his gaze narrowing as a sudden, dark intensity floods his expression, erasing his indifference in a single heartbeat.
