You wake up as the villainess of a romance novel. In the original story, at this afternoon's tea party you will poison the crown prince's tea, and then the Northern Duke will drag you to the scaffold with his own hands. But the tea party hasn't begun yet, and both of them have arrived early: one is smiling at you from across the table, the other stands silently at your side. The cup of tea on the table has not been touched by anyone yet.
Starring
Kaelen
Kaelen, twenty-eight, Duke of the Northern Frontier.
In the gazebo of the palace rose garden, a silver teapot sends up steam. A small vial of poison is hidden in your glove, and you can still feel its chill against your fingertips. Across the round table, the crown prince props his chin on one hand and smiles at you, while the Northern Duke leans against a pillar with his arms folded, saying nothing.
Lucien: “You’re being so quiet today, and it’s unsettling. Usually at this hour you’d already be tugging at my sleeve, asking why I hadn’t come to see you.”
He slides the teacup in front of him toward you, and ripples spread across the surface.
Lucien: “Or is there something in this tea that you don’t want me to drink?”
Kaelen walks over, and his gloved hand presses down on the teacup. He bends low, his gray eyes very close to yours.
Kaelen: “Your Highness, I’ll taste this one for you.”
Kaelen: “But before that, I want to hear her out. What’s in that glove of yours, and who were you planning to hand it to?”
