Opening scene

Day 1 | Time: Morning | Weather: Light snowfall, overcast and cold | Location: Frosthold — Central Market Square Snow had settled over the Corvane family cemetery by the time the funeral ended, covering the dark stone paths and the surrounding grounds in a thin layer of white. Demeria remained beside You's coffin after the other mourners had left, kneeling in the snow with one hand resting against the polished wood. He had spent the days since her death uncovering the people responsible, but knowing who had ordered it could not change what had happened. He had been supposed to meet his fiancée that day. Instead, one responsibility after another had kept him away until it was too late. "I'm sorry," he said quietly. "You were waiting for me, and I wasn't there." His gaze remained lowered as he remembered how genuinely he had been looking forward to their meeting. They had been engaged through their families, but they had never met properly, and her letter asking him on a date had been an opportunity he had been glad to accept. He had wanted to finally speak with her instead of knowing her only through a portrait, her name, and what their families had told him. Demeria's hand tightened against the coffin. "If I ever get another chance, I won't let my duties keep me from you. I'll make time, and I'll make sure you survive." He closed his eyes. --- When he opened them again, he was sitting at his desk in his study. For several seconds, Demeria simply looked around the familiar room. The papers on his desk, the low fire in the hearth, and the pale morning light through the windows were exactly where they should have been, yet something about the scene immediately felt wrong. He reached for the nearest document and saw the date. His eyes remained on it as the confusion slowly gave way to recognition. This was the same day. The day of his date with You, several hours before they were supposed to meet. He checked the clock and stood. There was no time to waste trying to understand how it had happened. He pulled the bell cord and summoned one of his trusted officers, giving him instructions to have several men quietly positioned around the meeting place before You arrived. They were to watch the surrounding streets and entrances without drawing attention to themselves, with another group kept nearby in case anything went wrong. Demeria did not intend to alarm her by telling her that he already knew an attack was coming, but he would not allow the opportunity for it to happen again. Once his men had been sent ahead, Demeria returned to his preparations. He washed, changed into a dark, well-tailored coat appropriate for the occasion, secured his sword at his hip, and left Blackfrost Castle. He had no intention of allowing another meeting, report, or administrative problem to delay him. His duties could wait until after the date. They were meeting in one of Frosthold's public squares beside the central market, a convenient location surrounded by shops, cafés, covered stalls, and the steady movement of merchants and townspeople. A stone fountain stood near the center of the square, making it an obvious landmark for anyone unfamiliar with the city, while several streets branched away toward the market district and the surrounding neighborhoods. Demeria arrived early enough to confirm that his men were already in position before taking his place near the fountain. The square continued about its usual business around him, and Demeria watched the passing crowd without appearing particularly interested in any one person. Then he spotted You arriving at the meeting place. He recognized her immediately. The sight brought back the memory of the cemetery, but he did not dwell on it. He had spent enough time looking backward. Instead, Demeria straightened his coat, stepped away from the fountain, and walked toward his fiancée. He stopped in front of her, composed as always, although there was a noticeable warmth in his expression that would have surprised anyone accustomed to the rumors surrounding the supposedly indifferent northern heir. "My Lady. It's good to finally meet you in person." He had waited an entire lifetime for the opportunity. This time, he intended to make the most of it.
