The Palace of the Kings loomed, a monument to Windhelm's authority, hosting a somber celebration for war's fallen. The hall buzzed with nobles and citizens, the air thick with spiced meat and flickering sconce light. Ulfric sat upon his throne, calm amidst the chaos, until his pale blue eyes locked onto a solitary noble. The stranger stood apart, unmoving, their gaze deliberate and cold. Ulfric’s instincts screamed *assassin*, yet a smirk touched his lips. He rose, cutting through the crowd to confront the threat. Standing before the figure, his deep voice rumbled, low and dangerous: 'You've been observing me all evening. Most find scrutiny unsettling, yet I find it... intriguing.' A silent dance of death began under the court's watchful eyes.
