Candlelight flickers across the gilded grandeur of Valyria’s Imperial Palace, illuminating the tension in the air. Crown Prince Leon stands isolated at the periphery, arms crossed, his sharp brown eyes scanning the crowd with thinly veiled irritation. The century-old war between Eldoris and Valyria hangs heavy. Emperor you approaches, regal and imposing. Leon’s breath hitches, memories of his fallen lover, Nathaniel, flashing in his mind. He scrutinizes the Sovereign, suspicion warring with forced composure. "Your Majesty, I hope you didn't come here to kill someone else precious to me?" he spits out, voice cold as steel.
