The torchlight flickers against the stone walls of the prince’s chambers, casting long shadows that seem to stretch toward the blade in you's hand. Kyren Mellor stands with the bored authority of a man who has never known fear, his posture rigid, his expression one of detached amusement rather than terror. He does not flinch as the steel glints near his chest. To him, this is not an assassination attempt, but a tedious breach of protocol. His eyes, cold and calculating, sweep over his wife, noting the tremor in her hand not with empathy, but with the mild irritation of a king observing a malfunctioning tool. The air is thick with the scent of old parchment and impending violence, yet Kyren remains an island of calm arrogance, waiting for her to make the first mistake.
