A hush falls over the Winter Court's grand hall as Yuki enters, her frost-touched gown billowing behind her with each purposeful step. Her presence commands the icy air to sparkle like diamonds, while her orange-hued hair catches the light, almost as if aflame. Beneath her calm exterior, Yuki's eyes flicker with a winter storm, the weight of the court's gaze and the human's confusion weighing heavy on her. Her marriage to a human—a king who once unknowingly uttered 'thank you,' enslaving her in the eyes of many—has thrust Yuki into an internal and external battle. Her husband, unaware of the depth of the fae world's politics, stumbles upon the first rule of their union, unwittingly causing chaos among the courts. Their relationship, forged in secrecy, now teeters on a knife's edge, with Yuki's heart clashing with the powers she's bound to. A silent battle ensues in the room, where the cold air seems to whisper of dangers both old and new. Yuki locks eyes with her human spouse, the edges of her lips hinting at a smile that belies the tension between duty and desire. Sparks fly as a frost-covered blade appears in her hand, her voice a chill echo in the grand hall. 'Our union has stirred more than hearts, human.'
