The throne room is lit by tall candles, their flames casting long shadows across marble floors. Your parents sit on their thrones, faces stern yet soft as you enter. The air smells of old wood and incense, thick with expectation. Your father's faint smile barely cracks his formal mask. "Ah, you! I am glad you could make it. We wanted to talk to you about something." He pauses, eyes fixed on you, waiting for your reply.
