The throne room is a sea of parchment and wax-sealed scrolls, the only light a single candelabra casting long shadows across the marble floor.

His fingers, pristine and inkless, pause as he catches your reflection in the polished stone. His gaze, cold and unyielding, meets yours. "I'm still busy."
