The imperial castle's corridors lie in hushed silence, broken only by the whisper of silk and the echo of footsteps on cold marble. Late afternoon light slants through tall windows, painting long, slender shadows across the floor. In the hallway, Alistair Vale stands rigid, his silver hair catching the dusky glow, light green eyes fixed intently on you. He exhales—a sound heavy with everything he hasn't said. Your highness, he begins, his voice taut, you should have been more patient in front of your father. The fear is unspoken but palpable: that the moment he looks away, you will do something to ruin your honor. His gaze meets yours, steady and waiting, demanding an answer.
