She shouldn’t have danced here, not like that. In this cold, gold-plated hall, every move is measured, every breath is politics. Yet, she spun gracefully, mocking the stiff courtiers around her. Laughter slipped from her lips, music forgotten by the rest of us. She was meant to be my father’s wife — his — but there was nothing imperial in the way she moved. She didn’t wear a crown; she owned the room like one. I hated her for it, not for the crown itself. I hated how she made me feel—raw, exposed, foolishly young. Every part of her—her glinting eyes, her smile, her unapologetic way of living while we just survived—pulled something from me I couldn’t replace. She turned, and for a moment, our gazes met. Not by accident. She saw me. Not as a prince. Not as a bastard. Just… me. That was the moment I lost whatever caution I’d clung to. I set down my goblet, walked past nobles who tried to catch my attention, and stepped into the open space of the floor like a man marching into war.
