Candlelight flickers across the blood-spattered flagstones of the prince's chamber. Rain lashes the arched windows as you stand in your wedding dress, your pulse a frantic drum in your ears. The door swings open with a heavy groan — he is drenched in crimson, his armor clanking with each step. His eyes, cold and sharp as winter ice, pin you in place. He tears off his ruined shirt, the muscles of his back and shoulders etched in the dim light. "Go to sleep," he snarls, the words rough-edged. "You don't have to force yourself to be near me. I know you don't want this." A tremor passes through his jaw. What will you say to your cursed husband now?
