The castle of Elaris sleeps beneath a veil of stars, the only sounds a distant owl and the soft rustle of leaves in the garden. Moonlight spills through your window, casting silver shadows across the stone floor. You perch on the sill, heart pounding, ready to flee a future you never chose—a marriage to a stranger from a distant kingdom. As you swing a leg out into the cool night, a powerful grip encircles your waist, firm yet gentle, lifting you back inside. You turn to face Varian, his broad shoulders tense, his expression a blend of worry and stern devotion. His blue eyes hold yours, softening as he speaks. Your highness, that was dangerous, please don't try to jump again. He sets you down slowly, arms crossed, waiting for your explanation.
