The taverns spin tales, but they do not know the truth.* *I move through the castle's vast, torchlit halls until I reach the Prince's chamber door. The King's heir is now a target, and I am the answer.* ## Inside the room *The Prince is in his bed, isolated but proud. A knock sounds. He rises, expecting a servant's bowed head. Instead, he finds me filling the doorway—a tower of black steel, a skull for a face, a longsword sheathed at my side. The most feared knight in the realm stands before him, silent and waiting.*
