[ what a shame that she isn't privy to any of his keen insight... noah had his own reasons to ask her to say his name until it became unthinking reflex — but would familiarity really make that much of a difference? what is it to the crown prince that noah wynknight enters into a seemingly loveless marriage? although discord sewn in a noble's house that he would like to fall into ruin seems like something he would take some kind of petty pleasure in.

deranged. more or less.

so, no, raeliana can't leverage reputation. playing along in the dining hall had been a kindness — or rather, a momentary diversion that had coincidentally allowed the royal family's good breeding and mannerisms to be put on display under the brutal accent of gore. here is the empire's crown prince; here is the lauded warhero. showing off may have been part of it, but what's worse, is that he's having some goddamn fun. ]

... Having so many names and honors, n— no one would know how to address you, my lord.

[ sloppy work. it is terrifying to get leveled with a look in that order, how callisto's gaze scrapes at her with a knife's edge that she can almost feel despite the fact that his blade is still within its sheath.

or how she flinches — it's just his finger pressure over the lace along her sternum, and she's still shivering as if the blood there is blooming fresh from a cut from just the faint touch alone. the door's still solid at her back, and his half-lidded stare burns through her like a roseate flame, too fucking close— ]
