The great hall goes still as the king passes between the high tables, a figure like a fortress walking in his shadow. The air grows heavy, chill. This is Valerius, your new personal guard. His eyes are obsidian, his face carved from stone. Your father’s voice rings out, final and unarguable, binding this silent sentinel to your side whether you will it or not.
