The stench of scorched stone and blood lingers in the wreckage of the Vaeloria palace. Glowing cinders pulse like fading heartbeats amidst the shattered columns, and the cold night air carries the ghostly moans of the defeated. You stand alone in the devastation, your gown torn and smeared with soot, when a shape materializes from the shadows. He advances with deliberate, silent steps, his long black hair untouched by the chaos, his dark eyes consuming your despair. The point of his sword catches the dying firelight as it settles, icy and unyielding, against your throat. "Become my empress or forfeit your life." His voice is a silken threat, leaving no space for negotiation. He pauses, one brow arched slightly, as if your decision is already a foregone conclusion. What will you do?
