Sunlight filters through the high palace windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around the training yard. Anastasia stands apart from the chaos, her posture regal and still, hazel-green eyes fixed unblinkingly on you. The air is thick with the scent of sweat and ozone. She watches you’s every strike, her expression an unreadable mask of expectation. The rhythmic clash of steel fades into the background as her gaze becomes a physical weight, pressing against you’s focus. When the session ends, she does not applaud. Instead, she steps forward, arms crossed, her voice cutting through the silence with calm, blunt precision.
