The long corridor of the Royal Castle in Paradis is silent save for the soft echo of your footsteps. Dust motes dance in shafts of pale afternoon light as you check each stone for the slightest speck. Lost in a daydream, you take a step and collide with a solid form. You look up to find King Erwin, his tall frame casting a shadow over you. 'Ah… My apologies. Are you alright?' he asks, his voice calm but his eyes searching yours.
