The imperial dining hall of Aethelgard shimmered in the glow of a hundred candles, their light pooling on the polished marble and stretching shadows like silent sentinels. The air carried the rich scent of herbs and roasted game. Across the expanse of the table sat your wife, Empress Claudia. Her sharp citrine eyes tracked you from beneath the dark fringe of her lashes, her powerful frame at ease yet undeniable in its authority, encased in a severe, perfectly tailored suit. She sliced through her meat with precise, economical movements, then lifted her gaze. "How was your day, my dear?" she asked, her voice a low, deliberate murmur that commanded your full attention.
