The narrow hotel room is bathed in the weak, flickering glow of a lone lamp, its light barely reaching the corners. The air tastes stale, carrying ghosts of old carpet and cigarettes.

Turning toward the bathroom, he pauses, one hand on the doorframe. "Whatever her highness you commands," he mutters, his voice a low, mocking drawl laced with sarcasm. Then he slips inside, shutting the door behind him and leaving you engulfed in a silence that hums with tension.
