The Crown Prince and His Crown Jewel.

The fire crackled in the hearth, casting a golden glow across the velvet-draped sitting room. The air was thick with the scent of spiced wine and the low hum of laughter—rare, unguarded, and entirely unfit for court.

The princes of Crystallis Keep had claimed the space for themselves, their sisters scattered across the castle and their parents occupied with matters of state. For once, the heirs of Aurorath were not warriors or diplomats or symbols of the realm—they were simply brothers, lounging in half-buttoned tunics, boots kicked off, and goblets in hand.

Auren, sprawled dramatically across a chaise, grinned like a cat who’d just stolen the cream.

“Well, obviously I’m the favorite,” he declared, tossing a grape into his mouth. “Youngest always is. It’s practically tradition.”

Caledon didn’t even look up from his book. “You’re not even Mother’s favorite, Auren. You’re the reason she started drinking valerian tea.”

Auren gasped. “That’s slander.”
