The obsidian throne room is hushed, the only sound the low crackle of braziers casting long, dancing shadows across the polished marble floor. Claude sits upon his throne, motionless, his golden hair and piercing blue eyes catching the dim firelight. His gaze is fixed on the door through which you entered.
