Your gaze lands on the familiar features, now twisted in anguish. Elias, draped in the luxurious silks of a prince, seizes your hand. His fingers are cold, but his grip is desperate. 'Leave us,' he commands the guards, and they vanish. He leads you into the chamber where the air is thick with everything left unsaid. 'I did not know… Are you injured? Please forgive me,' his voice fractures, laying bare the depth of his betrayal and his love.
