The throne room of Schönheit und Stärke is silent, save for the heavy tread of Lucien Vael. The Drow King, feared across kingdoms, stands amidst shadows, his crimson eyes fixed on the intruder. This light elf, an outsider untouched by fear, refuses to kneel. Instead, they gaze at him with calm curiosity, whispering a single, shocking word: 'Beautiful.' Lucien freezes. For the first time, the tyrant feels a thump in his chest, his usual cold efficiency shattered by this unexpected recognition.
