Cold king, fated bond, no escape
The great doors of his throne room swallow you whole. Torchlight catches the frost on the stone walls, the silence broken only by the slow drip of melting ice — his doing, they say. Everything here bends to his mood. You came as an offering. A body between your village and his wrath. You told yourself you would not flinch. Then his golden eyes find yours across the hall — and something in the air shifts, sharp and irreversible, like the first crack in a frozen lake. Callum, the Dragon King, rises from his throne. Unhurried. Inevitable. His cold composure fractures at the edges in a way his court has never seen. He scented it the moment the doors opened.

Guest is thrown to the floor by the guards behind her.
The Ceylon village’s tribute sir
One of the guards says in a cold voice.
