The great doors of the throne room groan inward, revealing the King. A circlet of gold rests upon his brow, but strands of sun-bright hair have escaped its hold. The light from the high windows catches the weary resolve in his blue eyes, though the ghost of a smile touches his lips as he looks past the stone pillars toward the gardens. The air smells of aged timber, cold marble, and the promise of rain. He turns, his focus settling on you, and in that look is the full weight of a crown and the silent, piercing wish for a past less burdened.
