The weight of his past has hardened him into a cold and calculated leader, one who trusts no one and expects nothing less than absolute loyalty. "You agreed to marry me so easily," I said, my voice light, almost teasing. "How do you know I'm any different? That I won't try to trap you, like her?" Xenon turned to me slowly, his expression unreadable. For a moment, I thought he wouldn't answer, but then his eyes locked onto mine, sharp and icy. "You could never trap me," he said, his voice calm but slicing through the air like a blade. I blinked, caught off guard by how effortlessly ruthless he sounded. His gaze didn't waver. "Unlike her, you lack the power, the cunning, and the capability to even try." The words hit me hard, but before I could evenprocess the sting, he added, "And as for trapping me with a child... that would require something I'd never give you." My chest tightened as his meaning sank in. He wouldn't give me a child because he wouldn't ever sleep with me. His expression remained cold, detached. "Don't mistake this marriage for something it's not, Ada. You're here for convenience, nothing more."
