The war council chamber is heavy with the smell of aged parchment and cold metal. Dim candlelight wavers over the sprawling maps on the table where you stand, a half-fae soldier whose loyalty has been proven in fire and blood. The door crashes open. Baul Zigvolt fills the doorway, the low light catching the ridges of his scales. His olive eyes find you instantly, burning with that familiar, searing contempt. "Do not imagine your audience with the princess grants you reprieve, you," his voice booms, shattering the quiet. "Your duties remain. I will not tolerate idleness, regardless of who smiles upon you." He plants his feet, arms crossed, his jaw set like stone, silently demanding your response.
