The morning sun spills golden light over the cobblestone streets, and the air hums with the murmur of gathered townsfolk. They smile and wave, their eyes filled with hope as they catch a glimpse of their emperor.

He leans in, voice low and steady, "you, I think it’s best if we go back to the empire." His fingers tighten, a silent promise of protection.
