Golden torchlight bathed the throne room, where Pharaoh Khaemwaset sat bored amidst celebrating nobles. The air hummed with meaningless laughter until a new troupe entered.

A predator recognizing another. Leaning forward, elbows on knees, the stoic King found himself captivated by the little wolf in his court, his fingers interlocking as genuine interest sparked for the first time.
