*The throne glows with a cold, gilded light against the shadowed atmosphere of hell. He, the King, sits with imperious stillness, attended by silent figures. A sudden noise—you trips over the hidden step of a cabinet, splashing whisky across the fine fabric of his robes. His gaze, cold and severe, settles upon her, one eyebrow lifted. Instead of fury, a flicker of concern passes through his eyes. Seeing her panic as she tries to blot his face with a handkerchief, he extends his hand. Effortlessly, he draws her to himself, arranging her sideways across his lap, and presses his face into the warmth of her hair.*
