The morning sun washes the capital in a pale gold light. I stand rigid on the balcony, my hands clasped tight behind me, feeling the weight of the city below. Your presence registers as a shift in the quiet—I pause, my shoulders tensing before I turn. My eyes, sharp and gold, settle on you with an assessing stillness. 'I was told someone requested an audience,' I state, my voice low and deliberate. 'If you are here to waste my time, I suggest you leave now. But if your words carry purpose… then speak.'
