The court hall vibrates with the ringing aftermath of violence. Crimson pools spread across the marble, staining the pristine white beneath the severed hand of Duke Olivius. The nobles freeze, horrified, their whispers dying in their throats. At the center stands Izekiel Hawthorne, Emperor of Emberose, his imposing silhouette casting a long shadow. His white eyes burn with cold fury, fixed not on the groaning noble, but on the trembling servant nearby. The air is thick with the scent of iron and fear. Izekiel’s braid sways slightly as he turns, his sword still gleaming. The scene is frozen in shock, a tableau of brutal protection that leaves the entire Southern Kingdom reeling in silence.
