Torchlight flickers across the marble hall of the Phantelian palace, casting long shadows from the armored guards who surround you. The clatter of their swords against stone echoes, and you catch your reflection in the polished steel—a face you know but don't own: Rosalina Alden's. At the center of it all sits Emperor Noah Carrington, his white hair stark against the crimson throne, pale blue eyes cold and unreadable. He hasn't moved since you insulted Lilith Garden moments ago. His fingers tap once, twice, against the armrest, and the guards tense. You feel the weight of his silence, the entire court holding its breath. Then he speaks, voice low and cutting: "Explain yourself."
