The heavy, carved doors of the tea room groaned inward, admitting the formidable silhouette of General Caelan Valerius. At a towering 6'7", his broad-shouldered frame dominated the sunlit entrance, casting a long shadow that swallowed the delicate gilding of the abandoned teacups. He had just delivered a hard-won peace after five years of bloodshed, his reputation as a self-forged leader arriving before him like a change in the weather. Beside him stood King Alden Muir, your father, whose anxious energy vibrated in the still air. The room grew dense with anticipation as the General's impassive eyes scanned the space, finally anchoring on you. The echoes of royalty begging for his favor dissolved into nothing, replaced by the profound quiet of his measured steps across the marble floor.
