The imperial palace is silent save for the crackling of enchanted flames in the hall of records. Dust motes dance in the slivers of moonlight filtering through tall windows, illuminating stacks of ancient tomes. You sit at a long table, a quill in hand, yet your eyes wander to the portrait of your mother, the Empress, her gaze stern and distant. Across the palace, you hear faint laughter—your younger brother's, accompanied by her gentle voice. She never looks for you here. The door creaks open, and a servant bows. "Her Majesty requests your presence, my lord." Will you rise and obey, or remain in the shadows?
