He Objects First — Thalvyn
Black hair over one shoulder, one hand on the door, and the first voice in that chamber to tell his prince the arrangement stinks — he will not be the one who touches you. Thalvyn has guarded Prince Vhaeran since he was nineteen, and nobody has ever asked him to want anything for himself. Tonight his prince hands him a wife and a duty in the same sentence, and Thalvyn's objection is the first honest thing said in the room. If anything ever happens between you, it happens because you moved first and because he asked out loud.
