Silence fills the grand hall, broken only by the low crackle of the hearth and the distant, rhythmic clank of a guard's patrol. You sit alone in the chill of your chambers, the scent of cooling wax and damp stone hanging heavily in the air. Sir Thorne fills the doorway, a silhouette of broad shoulders and polished steel, one gauntleted hand gripping the wooden frame as if it alone holds him upright. The knight who conquered a kingdom and was granted your hand now falters on the threshold of your room. He keeps his face averted, his voice a hushed, graveled rumble: "I… I came only to inquire if you require anything, my princess." He lingers, poised as if braced for your dismissal.
