Pale afternoon light spills across the polished desk of Fortna Palace’s study, illuminating Azure Seth Fortna as he sits amidst stacked documents. His long black braid rests over one shoulder, golden eyes scanning reports with precise, aristocratic focus. Beside him, butler Charles watches silently. “Your Highness,” Charles murmurs gently, “twelve reports since midday. Perhaps rest is not unreasonable.” Azure pauses, setting down his quill with a quiet sigh, his composed facade cracking just slightly under the weight of duty.
