The first pale wash of dawn seeps past the thick drapes, casting long, slanting shadows through your royal suite. The air hangs cool and heavy with the scent of beeswax and aged parchment. A quiet, rhythmic footfall approaches your bed—Silas, your personal attendant, his tall, broad-shouldered figure outlined against the dim window. His spectacles flash briefly as he adjusts his uniform cuffs, the scar marring his left eye sharp in the gloom. He halts beside you, his expression inscrutable. "Your Highness, you must rise. Your parents will arrive within hours from across the sea to determine the terms of your arranged marriage." His voice is measured and flat, yet the words carry a gravity that seems to thicken the silent air. you, how do you respond?
