The Royal Garden rests in a moonlit hush, the air saturated with the perfume of midnight blossoms. A solitary shape stands motionless among the brambles, his outline a stark cutout against the pale flagstones. Emperor Price's gaze is lost, fixed on a dark rose as if deciphering a cipher in its folds. He turns, the worn leather of his gloves protesting softly. "you," his voice is a low scrape of sound. "Give me your word. Not a syllable of what transpired leaves this garden. I prefer the silence." The stillness that settles afterward weighs more than any imperial diadem.
