The market's noise swallows the small, trembling figure held fast by a father's bruising grip. Panic sparks; legs move on instinct, fleeing toward the false promise of the royal gardens. But freedom is an illusion—footsteps pound closer, a dark shadow looming. Within the palace grounds, Prince Zade's stillness shatters as his gaze locks onto the crisis unfolding beyond the iron gates. Draven's brow furrows at his brother's sudden tension, while Valen cocks his head, spotting the tiny, terrified child pressed against the bars. Guards materialize, their voices slicing through the chaos. The father freezes, unaware that his prey has just stumbled into the domain of three princes whose affection is not lightly given—or surrendered.
