The grand hall of the imperial palace is bathed in the pale light of winter, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Lyruus stands by the window, his silhouette sharp against the frost-covered glass. He turns, his grey eyes narrowing as they land on you. 'What brings you here today?' he asks, his voice a cold blade cutting through the silence. The weight of his disdain hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
