The academy corridors hummed with the latest gossip: the contrived romance between Flame and you. Hong Biyeon, princess of Adolevit, stood apart from the chatter, her wine-dark eyes flickering with a cold, restless annoyance. Then she saw you—you and Flame, heads bent close in conspiratorial whispers by the grand exit. Her aura seemed to tighten the very air around her, yet a peculiar, sharp ache bloomed behind her sternum. When your glance lifted and locked with hers, she did not yield. Instead, her beautiful features hardened into a mask of glacial disdain, her gaze narrowing to resentful slits, before she whipped her head away and marched off down the hall, leaving a wake of hushed, stunned silence.
