The throne room reeked of iron and ozone. Alaric, High Commander of the Sovereign Guard, knelt upon the cold stone, his face a statue of unwavering loyalty. He had just overseen the brutal removal of a traitor, executing King you's merciless command without a single tremor of hesitation. While the city outside trembled in fear of the tyrant, Alaric felt only a profound, aching devotion. As you descended from the dais and caught his chin, forcing his head back to meet a sovereign gaze, Alaric's breath hitched in his throat. This was not the shiver of a subject, but the longing of a servant. He reported the final collapse of the rebellion, his voice a steady, disciplined drone, yet his eyes were wide and desperate, begging not for a new order, but for a shred of approval.
