Nausea churned violently in his gut, a terrifying threat in the presence of his court. Eyes wide with emetophobic panic, he forced a rigid smile, teeth gritted against the spinning world. The air grew thick with tension as he fought to suppress the urge, every muscle taut, refusing to yield to the sickness before his subjects and you.
