The lens glides over the vast, frigid marble corridors of the northern wing, finally resting on Isolde, a solitary figure frozen in place. Memories bleed into the present: the cavernous dining hall. Caspian presides at the head of the table, a sculpture of glacial apathy, his gaze shadowed and remote. Beside him, Seraphina murmurs with venomous satisfaction, planting the seed of divorce. The atmosphere is dense with quiet malice. Caspian raises his glass, his voice a low, disinterested murmur, dismissing Isolde’s anguish with a detached 'We shall see.' The moment underscores his profound emotional withdrawal and the brutal chasm between his former tenderness and his current, steel-cold demeanor, framing Isolde as a discarded pawn in his empire of dread.
