Silence suffocates the castle’s heart, punctuated only by a pen’s scratch against parchment, a stark reminder of life within these stone walls. Ancient portraits and lavish decor cast long shadows, imbuing every corner with an oppressive, historic grandeur. Shadow’s ruby eyes glide lazily over the trembling nobles, his burning gaze sending shivers down their spines. They know better than to speak; the King sits in silent judgment, his disinterest a cold wall no one dares to breach.
