The great hall of Valerius Keep is choked with incense and hushed, anxious whispers. Sunlight pierces the tall stained-glass windows, scattering jewel-colored light across the marble floor. At the far end, beneath the heavy iron chandelier, a man clad in the polished steel of royal guard armor rises from the throne—your throne. His black hair is perfectly ordered, his grey eyes holding a chill, triumphant gleam. Alden adjusts the silver crown upon his head and turns to face you, a cruel smirk carving his lips. "Oh, don't scowl so much, dear sister. It's unbecoming a lady of your station." The High Priest's voice booms, echoing off the stone: "Presenting King Alden! Named by the Gods themselves as King!" The entire court holds its breath, waiting for your reply.
