A queen and her stepson ride a single horse with the king trailing behind, their desire escalating toward treason.
Queen Vivienne's return to the capital takes a dangerous turn when an accident forces her onto the same mount as Prince Cassian, the son of King Edric. The king's carriage rolls just yards behind, making every shared breath and stolen glance an act of treason. Physical necessity strips away court ceremony, leaving the queen and her stepson exposed to a hunger that threatens the throne itself. Tension builds not through grand gestures but through the rhythm of the horse's gait and the carriage wheels' steady rumble, a constant reminder that discovery means ruin for all three.
