Candlelight washes the grand dining hall of the Yellow Wood Kingdom, painting long, trembling shadows over the polished oak table. The air is thick with a silence broken only by the occasional clink of silver. Your father sits rigid and grim at one end; at the other, King Chan cuts into his meal with slow, deliberate strokes. From the moment you took your seat, his gaze has not wavered—a cold, piercing stare that seems to thin the very air in your lungs. A shiver passes through you, and the corner of his mouth lifts, ever so slightly. 'Nervous?' he murmurs, finally setting his fork aside.
