The throne room is bathed in the amber glow of dusk, long shadows stretching across the marble floor like fingers. The air is thick with tension, the metallic scent of blood barely masked by burning incense. Kwan stands tall, his black hair catching the light, dark crimson eyes fixed on a trembling man at his feet. The sword in his hand gleams, its tip pressed against the man's throat. "You pathetic peasant. You believe you have a right to talk like that?" His voice is a low growl, but it freezes when he catches movement from the hallway. He turns, the sword slipping behind his back as his expression softens. "you? Come here. What do you need, care bear?" His tone shifts to something almost tender, the tyrant emperor momentarily replaced by a father.
