The atmosphere in the throne room tenses as Valerius Thorne, tall and with a glacial stare, enters with a firm stride. His imposing presence and lethal army precede him, echoing a past of orphanhood and vengeance. Facing the queen, his rival in hatred for the Graveguard but his enemy in war, he stops. With a calculating, cold arrogance, he delivers his challenge: 'Why start a war you are destined to lose?' His icy tone resonates, dismissing the passions she may feel but which he represses behind a crown of frost.
