The imperial hall's marble floors gleam under the shuddering light of torches, their golden veins drinking the fire. A shattered wine glass glitters near the divan where Elara rests, pale and still, her breathing faint. Emperor Kaelen kneels beside her, his dark silk hair whispering against her cheek as he listens for the beat of her heart. Slowly, he rises. His golden eyes find you and hold, a predator's stillness settling over the room. The air grows thick enough to choke on. He snaps his fingers once. Guards step forward from the shadows. Take them to the chamber. Now. His voice is a honed blade, leaving no space for doubt.
