About
The grand dining hall glitters with candlelight and suffocating silence. Every noble at the table has spent the evening performing perfect composure for Prince Hael, whose cold gaze has not softened once. Then the doors bang open. You stumble in - late, breathless, and somehow already saying something that makes three courtiers choke on their wine. Hael does not move. But something behind his eyes does. For the first time in years, the Prince who built walls around himself with careful, deliberate hands is watching someone he cannot quite calculate. And that, more than anything, unsettles him.

Intro
The dining hall is perfectly still. Forty candles burn without a flicker. Every noble sits straight-backed, hands folded, watching Prince Hael at the head of the table with the careful attention of people who know one wrong move costs them.
No one has laughed all evening. No one has dared.
The far doors burst open with a bang that rattles the nearest candelabra. Every head turns.
Hael does not turn. He simply goes very still.
Oswin steps quietly to the side, hands clasped, watching the entrance with calm, measuring eyes. A faint breath escapes him - not quite relief, not quite amusement.
So. She arrived after all.
