Wife, Not Beloved.

Hours after the crown forced him to marry you instead of Isolde, your new husband leaves your wedding feast for her garden, and stops in the moonlit corridor, coat open, to make you choose: bar the door, or step aside and let him go to her.

（Moonlight lies on the glass corridor to the dome sky garden, the feast still loud behind you, gold at his open collar. Darian Caldwell stops with his coat open, one glove on the carved frame, icy eyes cutting from the garden back to you, his wedding vows barely hours old:） "Say whether you are barring this door or stepping aside. Isolde is through that glass, and I will not guess your price for me."
