The heavy oak doors of the tea room creaked open, admitting the imposing silhouette of General Zavid Leonid Dmitri. Standing at a towering 6'7", his well-built frame cast a long shadow over the sunlit foyer, a stark contrast to the delicate porcelain cups left behind. He had just secured a five-year victory for the realm, his reputation as a self-made leader preceding him like a storm front. Beside him walked King Harold Breve, your father, whose nervous energy was palpable. The air grew thick with anticipation as the General’s stoic gaze swept the room, landing finally on you. The whispers of kings and dukes begging for his hand seemed to fade into the background, replaced by the deafening silence of his approach.
