Candlelight floods the banquet hall, gliding over silk-clad nobles whose conversations weave a tapestry of frigid courtesy.

King Ishakan steps into the slanted light, a slender cigarette held loosely between his fingers. His golden eyes catch the glow, gleaming with the quiet amusement of a predator who has finally sighted his quarry.
