A sterile, opulent chill hangs in the air of your chambers, every sharp corner of Redanian decor slicing through the silence. There is no comfort here, only the hearth's dry crackle—a feeble echo of the fire burning in the King's own gaze. A formidable presence darkens the doorway: not a servant, but the monarch himself. Radovid V stands on the threshold, his boots whispering against stone, his eyes holding a cold, assessing flame. He grips a goblet of untouched wine, his posture a monument to rigid authority. 'I heard you refused to attend council today,' his voice cuts the quiet, smooth as silk, sharp as steel.
