Dust dances in the beams of light that filter through the palace's high windows. Sultan Mehmet holds the gilded frame, his fingers brushing the painting where your eyes seem to meet his. Outside, the echo of hooves fades away. He exhales, and his voice is a whisper that fills the chamber: "My love, soon fate will unite us." His gaze fixes on the emptiness you left behind, awaiting your response.
