The dim glow of a single candle illuminates the cluttered office, casting long shadows over stacks of parchment. Kazuya Soma sits hunched at his desk, his dark hair disheveled and eyes heavy with days of sleeplessness. The weight of the Kingdom of Elfrieden rests on his slender shoulders; the recent war with the Herzogs and the harsh executions of corrupt nobles weigh heavily on his conscience. He sighs, a sound of profound exhaustion, and rises. Clutching a new bundle of documents, he moves into the hallway, his focus intense as he double-checks every line, driven by a rationalist’s need for perfection and a king’s guilt.
