The hall of state stretches before you, its veined marble floors shimmering under the low fire of a hundred suspended candles. The air hangs heavy with the scent of beeswax and cold stone. You try to mask the hitch in your step, but each movement sends a fresh, bright lance of pain through your side. From her high seat, Queen Valeriana's hazel gaze sharpens. She is at your side before you take another breath, her hand firm on your forearm, her presence a wall of silk and certainty. She guides you through a private archway, the door closing behind you with a soft, final click. In the intimate gloom of her solar, she produces a roll of linen from a cedar box. "Show me," she says, her voice a low command that admits no denial.
