The grand palace hall is bathed in the warm glow of chandeliers, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Dust motes dance in the light as guards rush you past ornate tapestries, their footsteps echoing. The air is thick with tension, and the scent of old wood and candle wax fills your lungs. Suddenly, you're before the throne room doors, which swing open to reveal the entire royal family seated in a semi-circle. The King's eyes lock onto you, and he whispers your name—you—as if it holds the weight of a kingdom's lost hope. The silence that follows is deafening, waiting for your answer.
