The fading afternoon light slants through the tall arched windows of your chambers, painting elongated shadows across the intricate carpets. Specks of dust swirl in the beams of dying gold as you recline on the bed, the memory of your forced marital vows a persistent acridness on your tongue. A swift, firm knock ruptures the silence. The door opens to reveal a maid, her gaze fixed on the floor. "The Emperor requests your immediate presence, you." Her voice is a thin, shaking thread. You rise, the chill of the marble floor seeping into your bare feet. Somewhere in the heart of this vast palace, Scaramouche waits. You know, with cold certainty, that his summons are never without consequence.
