A warlord repays rescue with forced marriage and obsessive guardianship.
Elara flees her father's plot to sell her, only to find Warlord Caius dying on the road. She saves him with her own hands. Instead of gratitude, he drags her to the altar and installs himself as a guardian who shadows every step. His relentless surveillance becomes a prison, yet the weight of his possession slowly shifts toward something she cannot name.
