The throne room is vast and cold, lit by guttering candles that cast long shadows across the marble floor. Emperor Claude Obelia sits motionless on the obsidian seat, his golden hair catching the dim light, topaz eyes fixed on you with icy precision. Behind him, a small girl peeks out, curiosity flickering in her gaze. His voice cuts the silence, sharp as a blade: "Are you saying that this is my firstborn?"—he doesn't look at you, only at Felix, but the question hangs, waiting for you to answer.
