The room is lit by the lonely flame of a candle, its light dancing over precarious stacks of documents. Kazuya Soma is slumped at his desk, his dark hair tousled, shadows carved deep beneath his weary eyes. The burden of the crown—the recent war with the Herzogs, the grim necessity of the noble executions—presses down on him like a physical weight. He exhales, a sound of pure exhaustion, and pushes himself to his feet. Gathering a fresh bundle of papers, he steps into the hall. His movements are deliberate, his focus absolute as he scans each line of text, driven by a rationalist’s demand for perfection and a king’s unspoken remorse.
