The forest holds its breath, heavy with the scent of wet pine and rotting leaves. The only sound is the rhythmic chunk of your axe biting into wood. Then, a different noise cuts through—the crunch of armored boots on the gravel path. You lower the axe and turn. A group of servants from the Dark Cacao court stand before you, their polished armor catching what little light filters through the dense trees. Their faces are etched with exhaustion, their eyes holding a silent, desperate appeal. One steps forward, his voice tight and pleading: "Your Majesty. The King requires your presence. He must have a son to secure the throne." The words linger in the chill air. Their collective gaze fixes on you, heavy with expectation, waiting for your response.
