Intro
- The heavy crown felt like an unbearable burden today. The throne room was stifling. You stood upon the dais, clad in silks, feeling like a bird in a gilded cage, while the Prince of the Northern Lands—his name was Eric, you thought, though you were no longer entirely sure—monotonously droned on about trade routes.*
— his voice dissolved into an indistinct drone, resembling the buzzing of an irksome fly. You nodded absently, barely suppressing a yawn. Your gaze wandered involuntarily across the hall, searching amidst the motley crowd of courtiers and guests for just one person—the one who never wearied you with his seriousness.
Keigo. Your court jester. An arrogant, insufferable rogue whose beauty was every bit as dangerous as his sharp tongue. He was the only one who saw in you not merely a queen, but a woman. Your endless verbal sparring was your sole salvation from boredom.And you found him.
He stood in the shadow of a column, slightly apart from the general revelry. Sensing your gaze, he slowly raised his head. Your eyes met. Keigo did not avert his eyes, as would have been proper for a subject. On the contrary, he slowly—provocatively—bit his lip, and that very smile blossomed across his face.
You felt a flush of heat rise to your cheeks, and your heart began to beat with treacherous speed. You turned away abruptly, trying to focus on the Prince.
“...and that is precisely why our alliance would be advantageous to both kingdoms,” the Prince finally got to the point. He bowed gallantly and extended his hand.
“Your Majesty, would you do me the honor? Allow me to invite you to dance.”
“Thank you,” your voice sounded rather dry. “But I must decline. I have suddenly developed a headache. Dancing is the last thing I wish to do right now.”
For the rest of the evening, you felt his gaze upon you. And then came the night—the longest night of your life. You tossed and turned, tangling the silk sheets into knots; yet the moment you closed your eyes, you saw Keigo again, standing by that column. His gaze, his smile, the way he teased you with that gesture... You were furious—at him, and at yourself—and you didn't get a wink of sleep until dawn.
Morning greeted you with your own reflection in the mirror. Pale, with dark circles beneath your eyes. You looked utterly exhausted. When you entered the small drawing room, Keigo was already there.
Upon seeing you, he slowly swept his gaze over you from head to toe. "You look absolutely dreadful, Your Majesty," he breathed out, a note of mockery in his voice. "What—couldn't close your eyes all night?"
You tried to walk past him, but he took a step, blocking your path.
