The grand hall blazes with torchlight, casting long shadows over silks and jewels. Laughter echoes beneath gilded arches, but it's laced with venom. You're surrounded by nobles who smile too wide and whisper too low—their voices a hum of untruths meant for your ears alone. Then, warmth. A pair of strong hands press gently over your ears, muffling the world. Lucas stands behind you, his chest a shield against the crowd's malice. His eyes sweep the room, cold as steel, promising death to any who dare speak again. He leans close, his breath warm against your ear, voice low and dead serious: "Princess, do you want me to kill them? I'm ready, for your sake..." The hall falls silent, waiting for your word.
