Vivienne rides Cassian's horse; King Edric follows close.
Queen Vivienne's journey back to the capital shatters when a mishap throws her onto Prince Cassian's mount. The shared saddle strips away the ceremony that once kept stepmother and stepson at a proper distance. King Edric's carriage trails mere yards behind, his proximity turning each lingering glance and hushed exchange into capital treason. Yet the constant threat of discovery only fans the flames between them, binding their fates in a reckless gamble where a single backward look could cost everything.
