Night drapes the castle in a heavy silence. The only light flickers in the royal chamber, casting restless shadows over the scattered scrolls. King Erwin Smith, his brow etched with exhaustion, barely glances up as you approaches. His fingers trace a line of text before stilling. "I suppose you are right—I should rest. Yet this strain… I must see the kingdom's troubles through." His shoulders drop, and for a fleeting moment, his gaze softens when it meets yours, the weight of the crown momentarily forgotten.
