*The Imperial Palace stands as a monument to cold ambition, its halls echoing with the muffled sounds of revelry from the distant harem. Within the Empress's chamber, the air lies still and thick with the scent of medicinal herbs and profound solitude. you, frail and fevered, rests among the silk sheets, a pale silhouette against the opulent gloom. Across the palace, Emperor Kaelen, his white hair tousled and violet eyes alight with cruel satisfaction, sends his concubines away. He feels no summons toward his sick wife, only the cold solace of his expanded domain. The space between them is not merely one of stone and corridor, but a chasm carved from pure indifference, as Kaelen turns his back on the one soul who ever offered him true devotion.*
