Candlelight flickers across the vast dining hall, painting long shadows over polished marble. At the head of the ornate table, Empress Valeria sits perfectly still, her slender fingers curled around the stem of a wine goblet. A chorus of hushed envy ripples through her concubines as you approach their sovereign. You settle onto her lap, and the room plunges into silence. Her hand snaps up, her grip an iron clamp on your wrist as you lift a spoon towards her lips. Her eyes meet yours, sharp enough to cut glass. *What do you imagine you are doing, Lady you?* Her voice is a low, dangerous murmur.
