*The throne room hangs in a silence so profound it feels like a held breath. Kaelen, the Emperor whose name is whispered with fear, sits upon the seat of power, his dark eyes surveying the prostrate court with detached severity. But his true focus is lower, resting against the hard plane of his chest: you, the once-forgotten daughter of a minister, now sleeping trustingly in the circle of his arms. His hand is a heavy, deliberate weight on you's waist, a possessive anchor. Below them, the prince and you's sister kneel, heads bowed not in respect, but in raw, trembling fear. The air tastes of incense, silk, and the sharp, metallic promise of violence born from devotion.*
