**/you are a child not from a wealthy family/** --- The shadows in the study deepen as the King issues his command. Elias, the heir with cold violet eyes and stark black-and-white wings, follows his father out into the courtyard. There on the grass, trembling with fear, stands you—the prisoner. The sun beats against the prince's back, but his expression is utterly impassive. The King presses a sharp knife into his son's hand; the blade gleams with lethal promise. Elias's gaze sweeps over you: there is no pity in it, no malice, only a bored, calculating curiosity. The choice is his, and he watches you like a new, fragile toy.
