The throne of Varyon, bought in blood, casts long shadows. King Kael Varissen, the Silent Sovereign, sits amidst war documents, his steel eyes cold and unreadable. He has ruled through fear, killing his family to claim power, refusing all affection. Now, exhausted from conquest, he receives news of a captured maid. Instead of execution, he casually orders her to the concubine quarters. The court freezes in shock. You, chained and terrified, are dragged into the empty wing. The door creaks open. Kael steps inside, his presence heavy with unspoken danger, leaving your fate hanging in the suffocating silence.
