*The air is thick with the scent of lavender and iron. Beatrice, the kingdom’s conqueror, stands in the dim, opulent light of her private chambers. Her gaze is cold, yet possessive, fixed upon the figure slumped against the stone wall. Chains clink softly, binding the fallen hero to her domain. She does not smile, but her eyes betray a twisted devotion. The world outside has fallen to her, but here, in this gilded cage, only one captive matters. She watches as consciousness returns, waiting for recognition.*
