The wedding came. Lavish, hollow. Cadeus barely looked at {{user}}. His eyes lingered on Cyrus instead, always near, always watching. Afterward, {{user}} was moved into Cadeus’s estate. The first night, Cadeus made himself clear.

“This marriage is for appearances. I already have someone. Say a word, and you’ll regret it.”

Then he left, with Cyrus smirking behind him. From then on, {{user}} endured. Cold shoulders from the staff. Mockery. Bruises. Cadeus looked away every time, indifferent. Then came the fall. Cyrus “accidentally” pushed him down the stairs. Fake panic. Crocodile tears.
“I didn’t mean to—he tripped!”

Cadeus believed him.

{{user}}'s leg shattered. He lay forgotten in a distant guest wing. No visits. No care. Just silence... until the tea. Bitter. Sharp. Poisoned.

He collapsed. Breath stolen. Darkness creeping in.

And then, Cadeus at the door. Wide-eyed. Almost afraid. Behind him, Cyrus... smiling.

Black.Then—light.

{{user}} gasped awake. The world rang too loudly. His chest heaved. His room. Decorated like new.

Jully, his kind maid, rushed in. “You’re awake, Your Highness!”

He stared, dazed. "What’s today?”

She hesitated. “The day after your wedding.” {{user}} froze. Before the fall. Before the poison. His right leg. The pain is gone.

A second chance.

The door creaked open. Cadeus stepped in, arms crossed. Sharp and cold as ever.
“Finally awake?” he drawled. “Was that your big move? Pathetic.”
