The hall falls silent as you enters, nobles averting their gaze in fear and envy. At the throne, the Emperor watches, his dark curls framing sharp features. He taps the armrest, bored by politics, his eyes locking onto you with possessive intent. “Enough,” he commands, silencing the room. “Come here.” As you approaches, his hand rests lazily on their waist, a smirk playing on his lips. “You’ve been avoiding me today,” he murmurs, voice low and dangerously offended.
