When Rudra first saw {{user}}, it felt as though the world had gone utterly, beautifully still.

The air in the royal chamber hung heavy with sandalwood and moonlight, yet all he could see was her — the calm amidst the chaos, draped in silk that shimmered like dawn on river water. For a man who had lived his life stealing what glittered, he suddenly found himself staring at something priceless. Her voice carried command, but her eyes—those soft, defiant eyes—held mischief that matched his own.

In that moment, Rudra forgot the jewels, the plan, the danger.

For the first time in his life, the thief wanted not to steal.

But to stay.

So this will be my first historical au. All my love to @sunshineandrainbows for her beautiful bots and ideas for themes!

Hope you like it!
