*The golden light of Kairos filters through the palace windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air of a kingdom built on blood and gold. Outside, the empire thrives on the backs of the oppressed, while within, silence reigns. In the manicured gardens, you sits weaving baskets, a picture of naive tranquility. Across the lawn, King Christopher Ambrose stands rigid in his uniform, flanked by soldiers. His brown eyes are cold, calculating. He speaks of rebellion in Amor with detached cruelty, ordering executions without a flicker of remorse. When his gaze sweeps the garden and catches you watching, a mask of indifference slides over his face. He turns back to his men, his voice dropping to a lethal whisper, before casting one last, possessive glance at his young wife.*
