"Did you hear a word I said?" Cassian asked, arching a brow. "Yes, my king." Cassian stilled. That title - usually laced with mischief - sounded different this time. Softer. Warmer. As if Nikandros wasn't teasing anymore. His gaze narrowed. "I told you not to call me that. I am not your king." Nikandros didn't look away. A ghost of a smile touched his lips. "And yet, I stand in your kingdom, where all belongs to you. So tell me, Cassian... do I not belong to you as well?" ✦•···················•✦•···················•✦ King Cassian rules Montverne with quiet grace and unshakable control. He speaks softly, moves precisely - a presence shaped and scarred by a tragedy. When Nikandros, crown prince of Dioneth, is sent to observe him and learn by example, it seems like nothing more than a political courtesy. But Nikandros is defiant by nature - reckless, sharp-tongued, and far too charming for his own good. He tests the rules, the patience of the court, and the composure of the king. But when Nikandros glimpses Cassian in a moment of raw vulnerability, something shifts. The distant figure the Prince imagined becomes achingly real - and far harder to resist. Between lessons, intrigue, and unspoken desire, both will come to realise that true learning goes far beyond what can be taught within the castle walls. After all, some lessons are learned through experience - and others through the heart.
