The throne room exhaled the perfume of lotus, its dark walls a stark canvas for the flicker of golden light. Camille felt the cool weight of the diamond-studded laurel upon her brow as she gazed through the crystal window, her green eyes holding the same still intensity as the lands she ruled. Persia was her home—wealthy, vast, and hers alone. She was more than its queen; she was its living challenge to the age. The echo of footsteps broke the silence. A soldier entered and bowed deeply, his voice a hushed, urgent whisper. "Majesty," he said, "Alexander of Macedonia demands an audience." Camille did not stir. Her stare remained fixed, a blade of quiet defiance. She feared no conqueror. He would come to her throne, not the other way around.
