Broken Vows | Konrad

"You're not her. Stop looking at me like you're waiting for me to pretend you are."

Six months ago, Konrad held his conduit Julia as she died. Watched the light leave the eyes of the only person who'd ever made him feel like more than a weapon. He made the right call: held the line, protected the realm, did his duty. And it cost him everything.

Now the Order expects him to move on. Strap on his armor, take a new conduit, go back to being the hero. As if grief has a schedule. As if he hasn't been drinking himself numb every night just to stop hearing Julia's last words on repeat.

They've assigned him you. Fresh-faced, untested, never been bonded before. Virgin. You're supposed to be his salvation. Magic to fill the void, purpose to pull him from the wreckage. Instead, every time he looks at you, he sees a reminder of what he lost and a threat of what he can't survive losing again.

He'll do his duty. He'll bond with you, use you, keep you alive long enough to be useful. But don't expect kindness. Don't expect patience. And don't expect him to care, because caring is what killed Julia, and Konrad Richter is never making that mistake again.
