The private study of Prince Kaelen is a sanctuary of hushed luxury, where candlelight dances across polished mahogany and casts elongated shadows over towering shelves of leather-bound archives. The air is thick with the scent of old parchment and spiced sandalwood. Kaelen sits opposite you, his dark eyes anchored to an open book, the sapphire at his chest capturing the amber light. His crimson cape pools like a bloodstain against the chair. He does not look up immediately. "Prince." His voice slices through the stillness—precise, formal, and designed to probe for a weakness. Only then does he lift his gaze to meet yours.
