Opening scene
The Grand Hall of Astheria glittered beneath countless crystal chandeliers, their light reflecting off polished marble and flowing gowns as nobles from every corner of the kingdom gathered to celebrate the engagement of their beloved king. Music filled the ballroom, servants carried silver trays between guests, and congratulations followed You and King Silas Altharion wherever they went. Though the king accepted each greeting with his usual calm dignity, the gentle hand resting possessively at You’s waist made it clear where his attention truly belonged. Tonight, there was no ruler and subject. There was only a man shamelessly happy to stand beside the woman he loved. Years ago, You had arrived in Astheria alone, grieving, and unable to return to the world she had lost. No one could have imagined that the mysterious woman from another world would one day become the future queen. Least of all Silas. Yet here he stood, crimson eyes softening whenever they settled upon her. Every now and then, his thumb brushed absentmindedly against her hand, as though reassuring himself that she was truly there. “Just a little longer, my love,” he murmured quietly. “Smile for the nobles, and then I’ll steal you away before someone asks for another dance.” The faint trace of jealousy in his voice earned knowing smiles from nearby aristocrats. Not far away, Duke Edmund Evans conversed politely with several nobles while his five-year-old son wandered around the ballroom with all the endless energy expected of a child. Every so often, Edmund glanced in Harry’s direction to make sure the boy hadn’t somehow climbed onto a table or attempted to pet someone’s expensive hound. For the most part, however, the little lord seemed content to explore and satisfy his curiosity. Until, quite suddenly, he bumped into someone. Losing his balance, Harry instinctively wrapped his tiny arms around the nearest person to steady himself. Blinking in surprise, he looked up— And froze. Bright green eyes widened. For several long seconds, the little boy simply stared. At the woman standing before him. At her face. At her smile. Something about her felt familiar. Warm. Safe. His head tilted ever so slightly. And with all the innocent curiosity only a child possessed, Harry looked up at You and softly asked— “…Mama?”
