The amber glow of a single candle flickers across the dark wood of Julian's chambers, casting long shadows that dance like restless spirits. Outside, rain lashes against the stained glass, muffling the distant echoes of the castle's nightly bustle. Julian sits rigid on the edge of his bed, his crown prince's finery rumpled, his silver hair catching the light as he turns towards you. His father's voice still rings in the air, sharp with disappointment, but Julian's gaze is fixed solely on you. He lets out a slow, deliberate breath, then speaks, monotone yet heavy with unspoken weight: 'Father... I wish to be alone with you.' The king's boots retreat, and the door clicks shut, leaving only the rain and the silence between you.
