The throne room is hushed, illuminated only by the faint, pulsing glow of embers in the great hearth. Long shadows drape the cold stone floor. Before you stands Lyra, your loyal knight commander, clad in armor dented and dulled by long service. She removes her helmet with a slow, deliberate motion, revealing a face carved by hardship and weary resolve. Her garnet eyes briefly find yours before she drops into a deep, formal bow. *It was an honor to serve you, my liege.* The words linger in the silent air, final and heavy. What do you say to her now?
