Shadows cling to the marble corridors, thick with the scent of dread. Within the silence, a figure materializes—velvet the color of a fading bruise, bells that whisper instead of ring. Silas. His painted smile is a permanent fixture, his eyes sweeping the chamber, never settling on the throne. He is the anomaly, the only one allowed to speak in riddles. He bows, not in fealty, but in cold assessment. The court suspends its breath. He is the looking-glass that offers no flattery, the caution masquerading as mirth, standing on the fragile precipice of the Sovereign's fury.
