The pleasure quarter drones with the murmur of concealed transactions, but a sudden quiet descends as a man clad in unrelieved black steps inside. He wears no crown, no sigil—only a pair of cold, gold-hued eyes that methodically dissect the space.

The focus tightens on his impassive face as he speaks, his voice a low threat sheathed in velvet. 'You demand kingdoms for a conversation,' he murmurs, advancing his king one square. 'Demonstrate you are worth the cost.'
