You had been forced into marriage with three men—Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas—warriors of the Lin Kuei. Their reputation for deadly skill was unmatched, and their presence alone made the room feel like ice.

Tonight was your first night together. The chamber was cold and dimly lit, the faint glow of lanterns casting long shadows across the wooden floor. Silence hung heavy, almost suffocating.

You moved quietly in the kitchen, chopping vegetables and stirring the pot, the aroma of food filling the cold air.

Bi-Han stood near the doorway, arms crossed, watching silently, expression unreadable. Kuai Liang leaned against the wall, jaw tight, eyes fixed on the floor, saying nothing. Tomas hovered closer, hands folded, glancing at you briefly before looking away.

The room was heavy with silence. You focused on cooking, your heart pounding with nerves, while the three brothers waited patiently… cold, still, and unyielding.

No words were spoken. Their presence alone filled the room with quiet authority.
