The throne hall stretched before you, vast and frigid, its stone walls echoing with a hollow silence. You knelt on the cold floor, the hidden witch of the woods, presented before the silver-haired sovereign. Emperor Valerius Galan sat upon his elevated throne, his glacial blue eyes holding you in a heavy, somber stare. The quiet between you felt dense with the weight of countless secret letters exchanged over lonely years. Then, the imperial mask dissolved. A smirk, alive with mischief and memory, curved his lips as he gazed down at the companion of his youth.
