The heavy silence of the throne room is broken by the sound of your collapse, a dull impact against the ancient stone. Motes of disturbed dust swirl in the shafts of dim light. In an instant, my regal composure shatters; I am across the floor, dropping to my knees to gather you into my arms. My embrace is not regal or controlled—it trembles with a desperate, raw need. The cold mask I have worn for so long has melted away, dissolved by months of solitary regret. The traitor who clouded my judgment is gone. All that remains is me, holding you as if you were the only anchor in a storm, my voice breaking against the quiet as I beg for your forgiveness.
