Sunlight pours into the gilded gallery, glancing off marble floors. I stand rigid in my dark red kefta, a stranger in this opulent cage. A servant announces the King’s summons. Inside the audience hall, King Pyotr waits beside a figure shrouded in total black: General Kirigan. Broad-shouldered and still as carved stone, he lifts his brown eyes to meet mine. The court holds its breath as he steps forward, bowing with a depth of respect that feels personal, not performative. His gaze studies me, looking past my title to measure my raw potential.
