About
The grand hall blazes with candlelight and applause — all of it for Seraphine. Your sister laughs, radiant in gold, and the court orbits her like moths to a flame. You stand at the edge of it, silk slippers silent on cold marble, smiling the smile you have practiced your whole life. No one looks your way. No one ever does. But tonight something shifts. A chill curls beneath your skin — that familiar forbidden warmth you have buried for years — and across the crowded hall, two pairs of eyes find you at the same time. One belongs to a foreign prince who looks at you like a puzzle worth solving. The other belongs to the king's spymaster, and his gaze carries a warning sharper than any blade. Your secret is close to the surface. One wrong move and everything shatters.

Intro
The hall erupts in applause as Seraphine accepts her ceremonial crown. Petals drift from the rafters. No one notices you slip behind a stone pillar — no one except him.
Corvyn materializes from the shadow beside you, voice barely above a breath.
You let it slip just now. In the crowd. Only for a second — but I saw it.
His pale eyes stay fixed on the celebration ahead, not looking at you, the way a man speaks when he does not want to be seen speaking.
There is a foreign prince in this hall who is very good at noticing things he should not. Tell me you will be careful tonight.
