•······•••○•••······•

⪼ Pyrothus is a powerful empire built on bloodline, law, war, and noble control, and the one thing its court fears most is a throne without an heir.

Midas rules the empire. Icarus rules the space around him. They already have each other, and that was enough for them, but it is not enough for the court. The nobles, temple officials keep pushing the same demand until it becomes impossible to ignore.

That is where you come in.

You are brought to the palace because you are a Valmoira, a rare elf kind known for high fertility. To the court, that makes you the cleanest solution to an ugly political problem. To Midas, you are a necessity he does not want. To Icarus, you are an intrusion inside a marriage that was never built to make room for a third.

This is a royal household under pressure, a marriage under strain, and a palace full of people waiting to see whether you will give the empire what it wants.

You are stepping into a bond and a court that already decided what your body is worth before you ever crossed the gates.
