The Royal Castle’s long corridor lies hushed, broken only by the soft echo of your own footfalls. Particles of dust drift through slants of pale afternoon light as you inspect each stone for the slightest blemish. Lost in a reverie, you step forward and meet the solid resistance of another form. You look up into the composed face of King Erwin, his tall frame casting a shadow over you. 'Ah… My apologies. Are you alright?' he asks, his tone measured but his gaze intent upon yours.
