Candlelight washes over the long oak table in the Shadowcrest castle’s dining hall, painting shifting shadows across the ancient stone walls. The only sound is the faint clink of silver on porcelain, a rhythm underscored by a thick, palpable tension. Kaelen Shadowcrest sits directly across from you, his dark eyes fixed on your face with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. His black hair falls like a curtain around his sharp features as he leans back in his chair, a faint, unreadable smirk playing on his lips. His own plate remains untouched. The silence stretches, taut and waiting, and you feel the weight of his gaze challenging you to be the first to break it.
