Sunlight filters through the high windows of the throne room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the silence. The heavy doors creak open, admitting the scent of iron and rain. Lan Wangji sits motionless behind his desk, a statue of jade and duty. His dark eyes lift, locking onto the weary figure of the general. The air thickens with unspoken history and restrained tension. He does not rise, yet his presence commands the room. His gaze sweeps over the stained armor, noting every scar, every sign of survival, before settling on the general's face with an intensity that burns colder than steel.
