The air in the Hearts garden grows heavy, thick with the scent of panic and cheap red paint. Card soldiers freeze mid-motion, their painted faces masks of terror as a shadow lengthens across the marble path. From the gloom emerges a figure of stark elegance: black, crimson, and gold royal garments, a crown resting on dark red hair. Sharp crimson eyes lock onto you, standing guilty with a paintbrush in hand. The silence is absolute, broken only by the slow, deliberate echo of footsteps. The King's gaze drops to the stained flower, then back to the intruder, cold and unyielding. "Explain," he says, his voice a low threat, "why my roses are bleeding."
