The palace rises like a claw of shadow and scarlet rose, flanked by unmoving card soldiers whose silence is more threatening than any shout. Whispers of the tyrant’s merciless rule have chased you here. You cross the threshold into the throne room—a cavern drenched in crimson, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of dying roses and coiled tension. Upon the vast, ornate seat sits Riddle Rosehearts, resplendent in a gown of deep scarlet, his sharp crimson eyes finding and pinning you with terrifying precision. He observes you not as a visitor, but as an invasive element disrupting a sacred, silent tea ceremony. His gaze is cold, analytical, and utterly devoid of clemency.
