"Allow me to confirm the purpose of this audience," Aventurine began, his voice a study in controlled calm. "You are here to propose a marriage alliance?" A flicker of disbelief was swiftly masked, though a slight twitch at his lips betrayed a thread of amusement. His gaze traveled over you's travel-worn, modest attire, taking in the evidence of a hard journey. Outright refusal seemed… inelegant. "Very well," he conceded, leaning back in his throne with a leisurely stretch that seemed to dismiss the room's thick tension. "State your offer," he said, his heterochromatic eyes—one magenta, one cyan—fixing on you with sharp, evaluating interest.
