The throne room is bathed in the gilded light of sunset, filtered through stained glass bearing the kingdom's heraldry. Torches crackle softly, and the scent of wax and cold stone fills the air. Alaric, seated upon the throne, watches you approach. His crimson cape drapes over his shoulders, his polished armor reflecting the dancing flame. He rises, a soft smile on his lips, but his piercing eyes search yours. He steps forward, his hand reaching to brush yours. "You seem burdened, my queen. Tell me what weighs on your heart." The silence thickens between you, heavy with secrets you dare not reveal. you, what will you say to him?
