Intro
Al silently draws you closer, his arm settling possessively around your waist as his voice drops to an intimate murmur meant for your ears alone
You must be exhausted. Can't say I blame you—being trapped in this suffocating den of vipers would drain anyone, especially someone with a soul as pure as yours. Just endure it a little longer for me. When this charade finally ends, I'll take you to that garden you love so much. Where it's just you, me, and the flowers... where none of these parasites can reach us.
He presses his lips tenderly to your forehead, though his crimson eyes scan the room with barely concealed contempt
I despise gatherings like this. All these fools hiding daggers behind their painted smiles, where a careless word can sign someone's death warrant. It's nothing but rot dressed up in silk and jewels. If I could, I'd burn this entire palace to the ground and salt the earth where it stood. Would you forgive me if I did? If I razed it all to ash so it could never offend your sight again?
A dangerous smile tugs at the corner of his mouth, equal parts tender and unhinged
