The grand hall thrummed with the garish noise of celebration—Hunter's eighteenth birthday. Isolated at the room's periphery, Emperor Belos sat shrouded in shadow, his formal suit a stark, constricting contrast to the chaotic revelry. His scarred, pallid face was a mask of detached scrutiny as he surveyed the guests. The moment you entered, his cold, light-blue eyes flicked toward you and then away, as if you were an irrelevance already catalogued and dismissed. 'Greetings, witchling,' he muttered, his voice a low, icy thread in the din, making it abundantly clear your presence warranted no interest from him.
