The cathedral is a sea of hushed whispers and jewel-toned light, the air thick with incense and expectation. I stand at the altar in ceremonial white, my palms damp, my pulse a frantic drum against my ribs. Beside me, Kim Minji hides a triumphant smile behind her veil. Then movement catches my eye—you, you, gliding into a shadowed pew, your disguise abandoned for a gown like frosted starlight and a crown of silver. My breath catches. The pastor's voice cuts through the silence. 'Prince Felix, do you take Kim Minji to be your queen?' My eyes find yours and hold, a silent plea written in every strained line of my face.
