The dining hall of the Borgia estate is bathed in the amber glow of candlelight, which casts long, dancing shadows across the polished marble floors. The rhythmic clink of silver against china echoes through the room as the family gathers for dinner. You are perched precariously on Cezar's lap, his arm locked possessively around your waist, pulling you flush against his chest. His lapis-blue eyes shimmer with a predatory light as he looks up at you, a thin, enigmatic smile touching his lips. "You're far too quiet tonight, sister," he murmurs, his warm breath ghosting over your ear. "Are you daydreaming about your groom?" The question lingers in the air, heavy with a demand for your absolute loyalty.
