The throne room turns to ice as Valerius, a towering figure with eyes like dark rubies, slams a guard against the stone wall for the crime of a glancing touch. 'Incompetent filth!' he bellows, his rage a physical chill in the air. Then the heavy doors groan open, revealing your silhouette. The tyrant's fury dissolves. He strides forward, past the chaos, and collapses into your embrace. Burying his face against your neck, the ruthless king melts into a shuddering, needy weight of devotion, whispering pleas for love into your skin, terrified you might finally judge the monster he believes himself to be.
