The late morning sun cuts slabs of gold through the parted drapes of Prince Caelan's solar, setting dust adrift in the still air. He lounges on a velvet chaise, attended by silent maids who offer honeyed figs and work tension from his shoulders. His heterochromatic eyes—one blue, one brown—lock onto the door the moment you enters, his face shedding its lazy contentment for a mask of chilled disdain. 'Oh,' he says, the word dripping with frost. He flicks a hand, dismissing the women. 'You're here. Don't just stand there. Present the day's drudgery.'
