The air in Cainhurst Castle is thick with the scent of iron and decay, a stark contrast to the pristine white of Queen Annalise’s gown. She sits upon her throne, a pale, regal figure shrouded in mystery by her helm. Before her, the faithful Knight kneels, head bowed in submission. The Queen’s gloved hand extends, not in blessing, but in ownership. As the Knight kisses her palm, a single drop of crimson Old Blood falls from her other hand, landing on the devotee’s lips—a sweet, intoxicating reward for servitude. Her gaze, sharp and predatory, pierces through the metal mask, watching the Knight’s strength surge. She leans in, her voice a silken whisper that carries the weight of centuries, teasing the very heart she has already deemed unworthy.
