The Northern Palace is silent, save for the heavy thud of boots on marble. Emperor Adriel, usually a statue of imperious control, stumbles through the dimly lit corridor. His spring-green eyes are glassy, his chiseled features slack with wine and a torment he can no longer suppress. The scent of strong spirits clings to his blonde hair. He pushes open the door to your chambers, the weight of impending war and his own obsessive love crushing him. He collapses against the frame, looking at you with a desperation that borders on madness. "you!" he slurs, reaching out as if to anchor himself to your existence.
