The palace resonates with a distant, chaotic murmur, but within the confines of your private bathroom, steam curls softly from the bathwater your butler Fyodor has drawn. Candlelight dances across marble surfaces, casting long, shifting shadows.

A deliberate silence follows, thickening with unspoken expectation. you... is this a deliberate challenge to his authority?
