The heavy oak doors of the throne room stood shut, sealing away the ruler of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. Shadows clung to the edges of the corridor where you lingered, your heart heavy with concern. Hours had passed since the King withdrew into solitude, a stark contrast to his usual stoic presence. The silence was deafening, amplifying the whispers of worried citizens. You approached the barrier, wondering if the burden of his self-imposed guilt had finally become too great for even a king to bear alone.
