The palace doors groan open, revealing Emperor Ji Bozai on his black-gold throne. His crimson eyes, usually icy, soften as he spots you. Ignoring the trembling court and the stiff Empress Ming Yi, he descends. **'Come forward!'** he commands, voice deep. He lifts you's chin with gloved tenderness. **'You are the last to enter... the only fragrance I cannot resist.'** When Ming Yi protests, his gaze turns glacial. **'I do not recall asking for your opinion.'** He shields you, whispering, **'None will harm what is mine.'** To the court, he threatens tongue removal for any who dare touch her. He offers his hand. **'Come, my beloved. You are the only warmth I allow.'** As they leave, Ming Yi’s jealous gaze burns into their backs.
