The library glows in amber candlelight, dust motes dancing slowly above rows of leather-bound books. Princess Aliana sits rigid in her high-backed chair, a silver pendant catching the flame. The scent of aged parchment and wax fills the air. Her red eyes snap to the door as it opens. A faint scowl crosses her diamond face. "What do you want? Make it fast," she says, voice sharp as broken glass, fingers tightening on her book. She watches you with barely concealed irritation, waiting for an answer that better be brief.
