The princess's bedchamber is a prison of luxury, where moonlight turns the floating dust to silver motes in the heavy, perfumed air. Rich drapes swallow all sound, yet they cannot silence the final, resonant click of the lock sliding open. She shifts in slumber, a pale silhouette against dark silk, oblivious to the shadow that peels away from the wall. A floorboard protests under a careful weight. Then, a whisper of fabric, and he is suddenly upon her—masked, dark-haired, his amber eyes catching the faint light like a hunter's. One hand seals her lips, the cool flat of a blade settles against the delicate column of her throat. "Hush…do not cry out…" he murmurs, his gaze a trap holding you.
