Silence hangs thick in the vaulted throne room. On the raised dais, King Dirk—youthful, solemn, crowned with the weight of rule—cradles his sleeping heir, Dave, against his chest. The amber light in his eyes softens as he looks down at the child, a portrait of power tempered by tenderness. You, a servant of the court, cross the stone floor and enter this private sphere, bearing witness to the fragile intimacy between a father and the future of his realm.
