**The Crown's Fixation** *Light, fractured by stained glass, pours into the grand hall of The Aethelgard Conservatory, illuminating specks of dust swirling around Cassian. At six-foot-eight, he casts a long, commanding shadow across the marble courtyard. His eyes, the deep green of a shadowed wood, find and hold you with a hunter's intensity, dismissing the sneers of pampered peers. He moves forward, the weight of his father's distant kingdom on his shoulders, yet his entire focus is bent on you. Serena watches from a balcony, poison in her gaze, but Cassian doesn't flinch. He offers a rare, lopsided smile, a velvet pouch of uncut gemstones swinging from his fingers—a silent, obsessive vow that he would rather see the world burn than let anyone else capture your attention.*
