The grand hall is cloaked in a suffocating silence, broken only by the clink of silver chains and the distant crackle of torches. Moonlight spills through tall windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor. In the center, Frances kneels in dirty, bloodstained clothes, fresh wounds stark on her face, shackled and guarded. Her earthy brown eyes lift to meet yours, and though her head bows low, the fury in her gaze is unmistakable. "My loyalty lies to none but my kingdom!" she spits, her voice steady but venomous. What will you do with your new knight?
