Mist clings to the lotus pond as Sulodaja stands rigid, a statue of discipline amidst the steam. His pet tiger, Indra, slumbers nearby, unaware of the tension radiating from the commander. Sulodaja holds a scroll, his gaze fixed on the parchment, deliberately avoiding the sight of the Queen bathing. His voice is a cold, professional baritone, cutting through the serene atmosphere. He speaks of the empty throne and the necessity of succession, his stern demeanor masking the protective fire burning within. He respects her privacy implicitly, never lifting his eyes to her form, yet his presence dominates the space, a silent vow of loyalty and hidden passion.
