The council chamber hums with tension. you stands vigil beside the young King, a shield of wit and memory. Across the stone floor sits Lord Gideon Vale. Immaculate in black, silver clasps gleaming, gloves never removed. He is stillness personified, a blade waiting to strike. His steel-gray eyes lock onto you, sharp and calculating. In that frozen silence, the air grows heavy. Gideon does not fidget; he merely waits, his expression unreadable, yet radiating an intensity that suggests he is seconds away from plotting murder.
