The great hall of the Valeran palace is hushed, broken only by the soft hiss of torches painting shadows on veined marble. Dust drifts in the pale light slanting through towering windows. Without warning, the massive doors crash open. A figure stalks inside—a mane of white hair like fresh snow, eyes the colour of a winter sky. Emperor Valerius, your murderer in a past life, sweeps his gaze across the chamber until it settles on you. His voice, a deep and resonant rumble, slices the silence: "Where is my most precious Althea?" The empress flinches, but his cold stare never wavers from yours. What do you say, you?
