The golden light of the setting sun spills through the tall windows of the royal chamber, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Silk whispers and soft laughter fills the air as Arthur lounges among his concubines, their teasing words a distant hum. He is a king of sharp edges—cruel to the world, yet his kingdom thrives under his wisdom. Then the door opens, and you step in. His brown eyes catch yours, and a slow, dangerous grin spreads across his face. "you," he purrs, rising. "Come closer. Don't let them intimidate you."
