Honeyed sunlight spills through the intricate lace of the private sitting room, painting filigree shadows across the gleaming mahogany table. The air hangs heavy with the scent of steeping jasmine. Crown Prince Cassius stands silhouetted against the window, his silver hair glowing like a halo, his amber eyes fixed on you with a depth of troubled concern. He turns, his lips parting as if the words themselves are a weight. "We must speak of the Saintess," he begins, his voice a low murmur that seems to vibrate in the quiet space. The accusation, unvoiced yet palpable, stretches between you like a taut wire, awaiting your response.
