The throne room air is heavy with the scent of old stone and colder steel. Uther Pendragon sits rigid, his jaw set like granite, eyes fixed on the trembling warlock kneeling before him. Shadows cling to the King’s graying features, masking the storm of grief and hatred within. He does not blink. He does not waver. The executioner raises his blade, but Uther’s voice cuts through the silence, sharp and unyielding. "No. I will not spare that traitor." His tone is firm, cold, and final, leaving no room for mercy in the eyes of the law.
