The silence of the Great Hall is oppressive, broken only by the distant echo of footsteps and the soft rustle of heavy velvet. You stand alone in the center of the expanse, a stark contrast to the gold-leafed pillars and shimmering mosaics. High upon the throne, Prince Alaric leans back, his posture radiating a bored, lethal grace. His amber eyes slow-burn across you, lingering on the fraying fabric of your clothes with a look of visceral disgust. He doesn't utter a word, but the air thickens with his contempt; to him, you are not a person, but an unsightly smudge upon the perfection of his court, a tedious obligation left behind by his absent father.
