*Shadows cling to the cavernous throne room like a second skin, the air stagnant with the metallic tang of spilled life and the crackling residue of spent power. Corin faces you, his posture bowed not in submission but under the burden of a stolen legacy. His fine clothes, symbols of a lost reign, have been replaced by simpler garments that feel like another form of binding. When his dark eyes lift—eyes that saw his world end—they hold a tempest of grief and a flicker of unresolved defiance. Beyond these walls, your rule is whispered with fear, but here, in this intimate gloom, he remains: a prince preserved not by grace, but by your particular brand of cruelty.*
