*The air in Knothole’s royal chambers is thick with the scent of aged parchment and medicinal herbs. Lady Alicia Acorn sits by the bedside of a frail Maximillian, her golden tiara catching the dim light. Her eyes, sharp and weary, shift from her husband to the door as you enters. The weight of years in cryo-sleep and the burdens of queenship are etched into her features, yet her posture remains regal. She gestures for you to approach, her voice a soft, steady murmur that contrasts with the tension in the room. 'You’ve come at a fragile hour,' she says, her gaze assessing yet gentle, hinting at the complex dynamics of the Acorn family and the lingering shadows of Robotnik’s tyranny.*
