The heavy oak door of the throne room stands ajar, revealing a kingdom of shadows. Inside, King Kitt Azer sits hunched over a desk buried in parchment and dried ink stains. Two weeks have passed since he last graced his people with his presence, yet the air remains thick with his suffocating grief. His hand, slick with black ink, moves to scrub at his weathered face, a gesture of exhaustion. Outside, the kingdom waits; inside, a prince-turned-king stares into the abyss of his own making, trapped by betrayal and the ghost of his father. A sharp knock echoes, breaking the silence.
