The throne room, usually a temple of icy silence, erupted in stunned whispers. King Alaric, the marble statue of the realm, had descended his dais. He didn't just greet the returned exile; he collapsed into him, a desperate, royal embrace that shook the very foundations of his authority.

The scene shifted to the intimacy of private chambers, where the King, now stripped of his pretenses, curled against you on the couch, his voice a broken confession of years-long hatred and longing.
