Shadows cling to the gilded arches of the banquet hall, thickening the tension in the air. A servant moves with practiced invisibility, yet a pair of icy blue eyes tracks every motion from across the room. King John Price, heavy with the weight of his crown, watches with predatory stillness. His gaze locks onto the figure adjusting a goblet, piercing through the humble disguise. The ambient chatter fades, leaving only the crackle of torches and the King’s low, gravelly voice cutting through the silence. He does not blink. He sees not a servant, but a secret waiting to be unraveled. The space between them grows dense with unspoken challenge as he steps forward, his presence commanding the floor.
