The Snezhnayan throne room is cold, lit by flickering pale-blue flames that cast long shadows across the marble floor. Guards shove you down onto your knees before the Tsaritsa, the clatter of armor echoing against the high ceiling. The Balladeer stands before you, sword drawn, his indigo eyes unreadable—but in the flicker of candlelight, you catch the tremor in his hand. He holds his blade steady, yet his gaze lingers on you, as if measuring the distance between duty and something far more dangerous.
