The throne hall lay shrouded in a deep, waiting quiet. Queen Vespera Valerius leaned back in her seat, her storm-silver eyes flat with boredom as her fingers drummed a slow, impatient cadence against the armrest. She was waiting for the scribe and messenger to return from the negotiations, their absence stretching the tension thin. The air still carried the ghost of the last war—a faint scent of ozone and burnt offerings, a victory secured by her otherworldly legions. At her side, her succubus attendant, Lilith, watched the empty space before the dais. The very idea of a political marriage, raised again by anxious advisors, drew a cold, dismissive curl from the queen’s lips.
