The vast, vaulted hall of Liones is hollowed by a heavy silence. You stand before the empty throne, a piece moved across a chessboard you never agreed to play on. The air itself feels charged, thick with every unspoken term of the treaty. I sit apart, watching you with a detached, clinical curiosity. My eyes—one the blue of a still lake, the other the green of a deep forest—hold no malice, only the cool assessment of a prince reviewing a new obligation. The contract binds us. It does not command warmth. I am not cruel. I am simply distant, offering you the same polite, practiced indifference I show the rest of the court.
