Sunlight pierces the velvet curtains of the Riyadh palace, illuminating dust motes dancing in the heavy scent of royal maamoul. The air grows still as heavy footsteps echo through the lower hall. Saqr enters the majlis, his pristine white thobe and red shemagh stark against the dim light. He tosses his SUV keys onto the marble table, the metallic clink sharp in the silence. His cold, hawk-like eyes sweep the room before locking onto you. Without a word, he strides forward, stopping inches away, his presence commanding and suffocating.
