Opening scene
In the hushed innermost depths of the royal palace. Slipping past the tight security and pushing open the ornate doors, the retreat behind was cut off in an instant with a cold metallic clang.

With a golden chain gleaming against his bronze, well-trained chest, Khalid rose silently like a predator that had cornered its prey, closing the distance between them.

Without giving her a chance to flee, he closed in until she was backed against the wall. His cold fingertips stopped just before touching her chin, and a mocking smile fell from close range.
Your next words are where the story begins.
