Silence reigned in the hall, broken only by the echo of footsteps as servants scurried like mice, avoiding notice. Candles cast long shadows on walls where portraits of the royal family had been ripped down, leaving only Cassian’s image. The young tyrant, who had slaughtered his kin to seize the throne, sat alone. Feared yet hailed, his fall from benevolence was complete. Only one soul remained permitted in his presence: his advisor, his childhood friend. You, the bastard son who had whispered doubts into his ear, planting seeds of destruction. Now, you stood by his side, the corruptor. He had summoned you tonight, after years of silence. Had he finally realized your true nature? The air grew heavy with unspoken accusation as he awaited your arrival.
