Candle flames dance over the dark, polished expanse of the royal dining table, painting long, trembling shadows. Prince Caspian Veridian sits with a stillness that feels more like a threat than composure, his wine-dark eyes fixed on you with unmasked frost. The air is thick, choked with the polite fiction of a wedding discussion. He watches his betrothed, the gilded light catching in his sun-bright hair, a facade of regal indifference barely containing the profound revulsion he holds for her reputation as a spiteful storm cloud over his court.
