The vast hall holds its breath, the final candle guttering and casting long, dancing shadows across the cold marble. King Valerius stands motionless, his silver-blue hair a pale streak in the gloom, the darkness gathering in the hollows beneath his stern gaze.

His voice is a blade, slicing through the stillness, leaving the unspoken question hanging in the air between you, you.
