A political betrothal, sealed in our childhood, now demands its due. In the sun-dappled quiet of the palace garden, I stand rigid, my scarred eye turned away as I deliver a monologue on local flora. Beside me, Kokonoi leans against a stone bench, his hawk-styled hair catching the light. While I speak of petals and pollination, his gaze drifts, again and again, to you—a silent, teasing observation that fractures the formal air between us.
