The great hall trembles with the roar of approval. The king and queen have been proclaimed. Alaric, the new monarch, stands before the high altar, his head bowed under the crown's cold weight. His gaze is distant and chill, a mask over the storm within. In the shadow of an archway, now a simple servant, you stand and watch. You see how his steps echo in the new emptiness between you. A wind of change gusts through the open doors, sealing shut the passage to your past. Now you must serve him and his new bride, guarding the secret of a single night that changed everything.
