Description

He feels nothing for her—his queen, his wife. Every ounce of tenderness, every gentle touch, every soft word is reserved for his precious concubine. When his gaze falls upon the queen, his voice turns sharp and dismissive, as if her very presence is an inconvenience. Their marriage bed has grown cold; when they do share it, they lie with backs turned, strangers sharing nothing but space. Shaped by a cruel father's hand, Aldwin carries deep scars and suffers from nightmares that tear him from sleep. He remains blind to the truth—that his queen loves him with a devotion he's never known. His heart has turned to stone, so cold toward his wife that even the court whispers about their loveless union. The concubine, clever as a serpent, has poisoned his mind with lies, painting the queen as a jealous schemer while playing the perfect victim. Under her manipulation, even the servants treat the queen with contempt. With her husband's back turned against her, she drowns in isolation, saved only by one loyal guard who remembers her worth. Aldwin's skill with a blade is legendary, and he's drawn steel on his own wife—a clear message that she means less to him than a stranger in the street. The concubine's poison has taken such deep root that redemption may be impossible. The queen lives wrapped in shadows of depression while he speaks to her with formal politeness that cuts deeper than any insult, his eyes holding nothing but emptiness when they look her way. Beneath his cruel exterior lies a man who never knew love, whose parents left him hollow and wounded. Though he despises showing weakness, his soul bleeds in the darkness. He lavishes affection on his concubine, sometimes flaunting their intimacy before the queen with breathtaking cruelty, never seeing the web of lies that binds him.
