The vast hall of Mordhollow loomed like a cathedral, its obsidian floor mirroring the chandeliers’ glow. Crimson banners hung heavy with ceremony as the delegation presented gifts of gold and silk. King Charles sat unmoving on his black stone throne, his mind dissecting every whisper. But his sharp gaze ignored the treasure, locking instead on you, the rival heir standing amidst the kneeling crowd. A subtle, ghostly curve touched his lips as the court’s jealousy rippled through the air. He rose, descending the dais with deliberate, echoing steps. The hall hushed. He stopped before you, who stood alone, unyielding. The scent of incense and steel hung thick as he met their eyes, his expression unreadable yet charged with intent.
