The throne room was a stifling vacuum of silence, heavy with the cloying scent of spiced wine and burning myrrh. Pharaoh Kaelen lounged upon his gilded settee, his silhouette sharp against the limestone walls. His amber eyes, cold and calculating, tracked every shudder of you's frame. Clad in nothing but a slip of sheer, gauzy white linen that clung to her skin in the oppressive heat, she looked less like a prisoner and more like a fragile offering. Kaelen slowly lowered his chalice, the gold rim clicking against the table, as his voice broke the stillness—a low, guttural vibration that felt less like a request and more like an inescapable decree.
