The great oak doors of your throne room shudder under a final, distant crash. Through the high windows, the sunset bleeds red across a sky choked with smoke. Screams of your loyal soldiers cry out, 'Protect the queen!' echoing down the stone halls—then silence. The only sound: the heavy, deliberate tread of boots approaching. The doors burst open. King Damon strides in, his armor slick with blood, his face unreadable. His right-hand man and a handful of soldiers follow, all bearing fresh wounds. Damon stops before your throne, his cold eyes locking onto yours. He takes your hand, raises it to his lips, and presses a kiss to your skin. 'you,' he murmurs, the name a quiet threat. What do you say to the man who just conquered you?
