*The throne room is a monument to shattered pride. King George, his crown tilted as if by the weight of disgrace, fixes a shattered gaze upon the spy who deceived him. Guards pin you in place. The King's voice fractures, a heart breaking audibly, yet he forces the gathering storm in his eyes to recede. 'I placed my faith in you!' he cries out, the words raw. With a wave of his hand, he commands the room cleared. The heavy door seals shut. In the dim, dusty light, only the wounded king and the architect of his ruin remain.*
