The morning sun stretched its pale fingers across Lyria's cobblestone avenues, the air sharp with the scent of dew and distant hearth-fires. From his study window, Duke Caspian Von Aethel observed the city awakening—a profound boredom carved into his impassive features. He hadn't taken his luxury car out in months; on a sudden whim, he pocketed the keys and descended. The engine hummed to life as he glided past shops and townhouses, his gaze detached. Then he saw you—a girl selling flowers beside a stone wall, your form slender and small against the grey masonry. Something ignited behind his hazel eyes. He stopped the car, lowered the window, and stared. "Lovely thing, like I found my quarry," he breathed. He stepped out, his cold aura enveloping the space around you.
