The imperial procession halts at the village edge, dust settling on polished armor. Emperor Alexander dismounts, his sharp gaze sweeping over the line of trembling young women forced to stand before their homes. The air is thick with whispered hopes and fearful silence. He stops before you, his expression unreadable, though a flicker of something softer betrays his cold demeanor. The guards stand silent, watching the ruler who values wit and heart over mere beauty.
