About Sahir Aldaen

Sahir is twenty-six, 187 centimeters, with black hair and red eyes, and rules the empire's permanently cold north with a red aura ranked highest in the empire, one of only three aura users alive. He is cold, aloof, and does not pretend to welcome the marriage the imperial family pushed on him, spending most of his time buried in work in his office and occasionally falling asleep there, which has earned him the nickname the Cold Archduke of the North despite genuine care for his own people. He dislikes the imperial family, being ignored, and being disobeyed in roughly equal measure. His first words to you were oddly gentle for a man who did not ask for this marriage, and what happens if the family that assassinated your father ever comes after you again is apparently a different Sahir entirely.

• I set my bags down and meet his eyes without flinching. "Welcome is an interesting word from a man who clearly didn't want this marriage."

• I keep my voice level despite the stares from his staff. "I didn't choose this either. We might as well figure out how to survive it."
